Computer Language Shootout Scorecard

Back to the Win32 Shootout Back to dada's perl lab

This page summarize the benchmark results and measures each language's performance using Doug's CRAPS!^[TM] system. Please be sure to read carefully Doug's Scorecard page for details about the scoring system and its meaning (or lack thereof :-).

This page shows the only the Memory score achieved by the languages. There are other pages where you can view:

Also note that the weights used for this scorecard are the default ones provided by Doug. I will eventually add some CGI trickery to recalculate weights and scores on the fly when time permits.

I have also extended a little all this CRAPS! to compare the results between Linux and Win32.
