 Step 1 : Are the Go 6g 8g programs faster? At a glance.

This chart shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used ~ speed and size.

Each chart bar shows, for one unidentified benchmark, how much the fastest Go 6g 8g program used compared to the fastest Lisp SBCL program.


 Step 2 : Are the Go 6g 8g programs faster? Approximately.

This table shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used ~ speed and size.

Each table row shows, for one named benchmark, how much the fastest Go 6g 8g program used compared to the fastest Lisp SBCL program.

 Go 6g 8g used what fraction? used how many times more?

± read the measurements and then read the program source code.

 Step 3 : Are the Go 6g 8g programs faster? Measurements.

This table shows 5 measurements - CPU Time, Elapsed Time, Memory, Code and ≈ CPU Load ~ speed and size.

For each named benchmark, measurements of the fastest Go 6g 8g program are shown for comparison against measurements of the fastest Lisp SBCL program.

 Step 4 : Are there other Go 6g 8g programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest Go 6g 8g and Lisp SBCL programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are other implementations of these benchmark programs for Go 6g 8g.

Maybe one of those other Go 6g 8g programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.

 Step 5 : Are there other faster programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest Go 6g 8g and Lisp SBCL programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are faster implementations of these benchmark programs for other programming languages.

Maybe one of those other programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.

 Go 6g 8g : types just are - Go is an experiment
