This new version takes inspiration from the C implementation of the benchmark, but instead of explicitly using SIMD operations which can't be done on stable, it instead arranges everything the same way and leaves the actual vectorization up to LLVM. In addition to the ~20% speed gains (see below), this PR also adds some general niceties which showcase the language a little bit: a `Vec3` type to cut down on `(x, y, z)` repetition, using `while let` instead of `loop-if-break`, iterator adapters instead of for loops etc. Here are the times in seconds of 10 runs each on my workstation: ``` before: 6.254, 6.260, 6.263, 6.264, 6.265, 6.267, 6.334, 6.341, 6.441, 6.509 before-min: 6.254 before-median: 6.266 before-max: 6.509 after: 4.823, 4.824, 4.826, 4.827, 4.837, 4.839, 4.881, 4.959, 4.990, 5.377 after-min: 4.823 after-median: 4.838 after-max: 5.377 gcc: 4.674, 4.676, 4.680, 4.682, 4.695, 4.696, 4.701, 4.708, 4.794, 5.297 gcc-min: 4.674 gcc-median: 4.696 gcc-max: 5.297 ``` On my i7 laptop the speed up is less impressive, from ~5.4s to ~4.7s, but still significant. On my Vultr VPS the numbers look closer to the workstation results. Surprisingly my laptop beats both office workstation and VPS... |
