Performance Benchmarks

Here are the results of several performance benchmarking tests run on ten different Common Lisp implementations running on a MacBook Pro, a dual P4 3.0 GHz, a P3 1.1 GHz, a G3 400 MHz and an UltrasparcIIe 500 MHz. The tests run include

Except for the CLOS code, timings do not include compilation time. The garbage collector is run before each test to try to make the timings more repeatable. Remember that the only real benchmark is your application: this code is only representative of real-life programs to a limited extent. For certain targets, we assume that the times reported by GET-INTERNAL-RUN-TIME and GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME are accurate.

The code for these performance benchmarks can be downloaded from http://www.chez.com/emarsden/downloads/cl-bench.tar.gz. (For some reason this seems to error out as a direct link but not when accessed from the following page: http://www.chez.com/emarsden/downloads/.)

Here is an example of the type of results you can obtain, for x86 and SPARC platforms. To interpret these numbers: the number in the Reference column is a number of seconds taken to execute that test. The other numbers are the relative performance of that implementation, so for example a number of 1.3 means 30% slower than the reference implementation. A number of -1 means that the corresponding test was not run on that implementation, either because it does not support the given feature (certain types of method combination for CLISP, for instance), or because of implementation limits (heap size limit on LispWorks Personal, for example).
