 1 : Are the C++ g++ programs faster? At a glance.

Each chart bar shows, for one unidentified benchmark, how much the fastest C++ g++ program used compared to the fastest C gcc program.

These are not the only compilers and interpreters. These are not the only programs that could be written. These are not the only tasks that could be solved. These are just 10 tiny examples.

 2 : Are the C++ g++ programs faster? Approximately.

Each table row shows, for one named benchmark, how much the fastest C++ g++ program used compared to the fastest C gcc program.

C++ g++ used what fraction? used how many times more?
Benchmark	Time	Memory	Code
k-nucleotide	1/2	±	1/2
fasta	±	3×	±
mandelbrot	±	±	±
fannkuch-redux	±	3×	±
fasta-redux	±	2×	±
n-body	±	2×	±
spectral-norm	±	1/2	2×

regex-dna	2×	1/2	1/4
binary-trees	2×	2×	±

C++ g++ used what fraction? used how many times more?

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

 3 : Are the C++ g++ programs faster? Measurements.

These are not the only tasks that could be solved. These are just 10 tiny examples. These are not the only compilers and interpreters. These are not the only programs that could be written.

For each named benchmark, measurements of the fastest C++ g++ program are shown for comparison against measurements of the fastest C gcc program.

 4 : Are there other C++ g++ programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest C++ g++ and C gcc programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are other implementations of these benchmark programs for C++ g++.

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