This is an example of how one can generate a quick comparison of the processing power of different systems using a CPU-bound (not using disk or network) application. This app in this case is a java program that finds the solution to the N-Queens problem while counting the number of probes it makes to the 2-D board. The source code is available here.



Source Code


The N-Queens program in C is available here. The N-Queens in Java is available here and also here.

Timing


Here are some results gathered on several different processor systems. NxN is the dimension of the board. The different systems are:

  1. Macbook Pro, 2009, 2.53 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB 1067MHz DDR3, 2 cores
  2. Macbook Pro, 2014, 2.8 GHz Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3, 4 cores
  3. MacPro, 2009, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5462, 4 cores
  4. MacPro, 2014, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v2 @ 3.50GHz, 6 cores
  5. Beowulf2, (year?) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz, 1 core
  6. Laptop 1 = MSI GE62 Apache Pro 219, 2015, i7 5700hq @2.7GHz, 16.0 GB 1600MHz DDR3L, 4 cores
  7. Linux 8 = AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor, 3.5 GHz, 2GB cache
  8. Arduino = Diecimilia, ATMega168 processor @ 16 MHz.
  9. Raspberry Pi 3, processor at 1.2 GHz


All times in the table below are in milliseconds (ms).

Comparing Java to C


This calls for a quick comparison of the Java to C implementation available here, compiled by a C++ compiler with O3 optimization, and running on the fastest of the machines above, a MacBook Pro, 15" Retina Display, with a 2.8GHz 4-core processor. The computation uses only one core. All times are in milliseconds (ms).
