Running the Benchmarks

$ mix deps.get
$ mix compile
$ mix bench

Compiling

Compiling the native applications for your system, run these from within the ./bench directory:

go compile go_port.go
rustc -C opt-level=3 rust_port.rs
ocamlopt -o ocaml_port ocaml_port.ml
swiftc swift_port.swift

Contributing

If you'd like to add new benchmarks for other languages, please do! Right now there is no structure to speak of; just add the necessary code to ./bench/.
