Gambit versus Python+GMP: Timing for Chudnovskys' algorithm for pi
by Bradley Lucier 07 Avr '22

07 Avr '22

Bakul Shah wrote a particularly elegant Scheme program for Chudnovskys' algorithm for pi based on the Common Lisp program here: https://bitbucket.org/tarballs_are_good/numericl/src/5fe8fe7089f48ab1c8a388… Nick Craig-Wood wrote a Python program using the GMP multiprecision library that appears to use exactly the same algorithm here: http://www.craig-wood.com/nick/articles/pi-chudnovsky/ I modified both programs a bit and include them here. They time the calculation of $10^n$ digits of pi for $n=1,2,3,4,5,6,7$. The results are heine:~/programs/gambiteer/gambit> !py python pi_chudnovsky_bs_gmpy.py 31415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679 ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 10, 'time', 1.0967254638671875e-05) ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 100, 'time', 3.0040740966796875e-05) Last 5 digits 70679 OK ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 1000, 'time', 0.00025582313537597656) Last 5 digits 01989 OK ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 10000, 'time', 0.00386810302734375) Last 5 digits 75678 OK ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 100000, 'time', 0.0834801197052002) Last 5 digits 24646 OK ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 1000000, 'time', 1.655979871749878) Last 5 digits 58151 OK ('chudnovsky_gmpy_mpz_bs: digits', 10000000, 'time', 30.67442488670349) Last 5 digits 55897 OK heine:~/programs/gambiteer/gambit> gsi chud1.scm Chudnovsky's algorithm using binary splitting in Gambit Scheme: digits 10, CPU time: 0..

So it appears that for this algorithm applied to large integers, GMP's bignum routines are about 3-4 times as fast as Gambit's bignum routines. Not so bad. For smaller bignums, GMP has a bigger advantage. The C program gmp-chudnovsky.c includes certain optimizations to this basic algorithm: http://gmplib.org/pi-with-gmp.html ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/misc/gmp-chudnovsky.c On my machine, compiled with gcc -O3 -march=native -o gmp-chudnovsky gmp-chudnovsky.c -lgmp -lm the CPU times for 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 digits are 1.064 and 18.200 seconds, respectively. This is with a somewhat older machine model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz running Ubuntu 13.04 with heine:~/programs/gambiteer/gambit> gcc -v Using built-in specs.

Call for draft papers for presentation at IFL 2018 (Implementation and Application of Functional Languages)
by Jurriaan Hage 15 Jui '18

15 Jui '18

Hello, Please, find below the fourth call for papers for IFL 2018. Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested. Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. best regards, Jurriaan Hage Publicity Chair of IFL --- Call for Draft papers for presentations ================================================================================ IFL 2018 30th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages University of Massachusetts Lowell, MA, USA September 5th-7th, 2018 http://iflconference.org ================================================================================ ### Scope The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2018 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to: - language concepts - type systems, type checking, type inferencing - compilation techniques - staged compilation - run-time function specialization - run-time code generation - partial evaluation - (abstract) interpretation - metaprogramming - generic programming - automatic program generation - array processing - concurrent/parallel programming - concurrent/parallel program execution - embedded systems - web applications - (embedded) domain specific languages - security - novel memory management techniques - run-time profiling performance measurements - debugging and tracing - virtual/abstract machine architectures - validation, verification of functional programs - tools and programming techniques - (industrial) applications ### Keynote Speakers * Adam Chlipala, Massachusetts Institute of Technology CSAIL * Arjun Guha, University of Massachusetts Amherst ### Submissions and peer-review Differently from previous editions of IFL, IFL 2018 solicits two kinds of submissions: * Regular papers (12 pages including references) * Draft papers for presentations ('weak' limit between 8 and 15 pages) Regular papers will undergo a rigorous review by the program committee, and will be evaluated according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity. A set of regular papers will be conditionally accepted for publication. Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with committee reviews along with a set of mandatory revisions. Regular papers not accepted for publication will be considered as draft papers, at the request of the author. Draft papers will be screened to make sure that they are within the scope of IFL, and will be accepted for presentation or rejected accordingly. Prior to the symposium: Authors of conditionally accepted papers and accepted presentations will submit a pre-proceedings version of their work that will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. The draft proceedings does not constitute a formal publication. We require that at least one of the authors present the work at IFL 2018. After the symposium: Authors of conditionally accepted papers will submit a revised versions of their paper for the formal post-proceedings. The program committee will assess whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final accept/reject status of the paper. Our interest is to ultimately accept all conditionally accepted papers. If you are an author of a conditionally accepted paper, please make sure that you address all the concerns of the reviewers. Authors of accepted presentations will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal post-proceedings. The program committee will evaluate these submissions according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and will thereby determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected. ### Publication The formal proceedings will appear in the International Conference Proceedings Series of the ACM Digital Library. At no time may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication ### Important dates Submission of regular papers: May 25, 2018 [PASSED!] Submission of draft papers: July 17, 2018 [UPCOMING!] Regular and draft papers notification: July 20, 2018 Deadline for early registration: August 8, 2018 Submission of pre-proceedings version: August 29, 2018 IFL Symposium: September 5-7, 2018 Submission of papers for post-proceedings: November 7, 2018 Notification of acceptance: December 22, 2018 Camera-ready version: February 10, 2019 ### Submission details All contributions must be written in English. Papers must use the ACM two columns conference format, which can be found at: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Authors submit through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifl2018 ### Peter Landin Prize The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honored article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros. ### Organization and Program committee Chairs: Jay McCarthy & Matteo Cimini, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA Program Committee: * Arthur Chargueraud, Inria, FR * Ben Delaware, Purdue University, USA * Christos Dimoulas, Northwestern University, USA * David Darais, University of Vermont, USA * Dominic Orchard, University of Kent, UK * Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University, UK * Garrett Morris, University of Kansas, USA * Heather Miller, EPFL & Northeastern University, CH & USA * Jeremy Yallop, University of Cambridge, UK * Keiko Nakata, SAP Innovation Center Potsdam, DE * Laura Castro, University of A Coruna, ESP * Magnus Myreen, Chalmers University of Technology, SWE * Natalia Chechina, Bournemouth University, UK * Peter Achten, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, NL * Peter-Michael Osera, Grinnell College, USA * Richard Eisenberg, Bryn Mawr College, USA * Trevor McDonell, University of New South Wales, AUS * Yukiyoshi Kameyama, University of Tsukuba, JAP ### Venue The 30th IFL is organized by the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The City of Lowell is located at the heart of the Merrimack Valley just 30 miles northwest of Boston. Lowell can be easily reached by train or taxi. See the website for more information on the venue. ### Acknowledgments This call-for-papers is an adaptation and evolution of content from previous instances of IFL. We are grateful to prior organizers for their work, which is reused here. A part of IFL 2018 format and CFP language that describes conditionally accepted papers has been adapted from call-for-papers of OOPSLA conferences.
