Languages performance tests

Python script that runs performance tests for few programming languages. All the tests are based on the same problems solved in different programming languages. The scripts runs few attepmts of particular solutions, takes execution time and calculates the average execution time for specific languages.

Run tests

Before running tests you need to install all the interpreters and compilers for used languages. The following interpreters/compilers are required: g++, gcc, node, npx ts-node, ruby, php, java, python3, pypy3. Example installation for Ubunutu:

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install g++ gcc nodejs npm ruby php default-jre pypy3 -y
npm install @types/node typescript ts-node perf_hooks --save-dev

To run tests you need pip3 and python3 with version at least v3.9. Example installation for Ubuntu:

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install python3.9 python3-pip -y
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.9
python3 -V
pip3 --version

With that being said, just run tests:

git clone https://github.com/wblazej/languages-performance-tests
cd languages-performance-tests
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py

Current problems

• random_numbers - generates 1 mln random numbers from range 1 to 1 mln
• fibonacci_sequence - calculates Fibonacci Sequence for 30
• factorial - calculates Factorial 10 000 times for range of numbers from 1 to 20

Usage

See help page

python3 main.py --help
