Code-used Time-used Shapes [19 Dec 2009 u32q]

Scatter plots of ↓ normalized Code-used and normalized Time-used measurements give shape to each language implementation and position the programs in a broader context. From concise at the left to less-concise at the right, from slower at the top to faster at the bottom.

Also, click a scatter plot to compare that language implementations directly - one-against-another for all the benchmarks - on Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used.

       
       
      
      
       
      
       
       
     
       
       
       
       
      
      
      
      
       
       
       
       
       

 about Code-used Time-used Shapes

Measurements are normalized to the gzip Code-used of the smallest program and to the Time-used by the fastest program respectively. The scatter plots are given more shape by joining each data point to a median point.

Both axes use logarithmic scaling to show the full range of measurements, although there's at least two orders of magnitude more difference between program Time-used than program Code-used.

Thanks to Guillaume Marceau for demonstrating there was interest in this kind of presentation.
