Just to note, these benchmarks are biased. This is a competition between highly-tuned-to-the-processor Julia with tuned BLAS vs other languages out-of-the-box binaries. Additionally, the benchmarks tests are written…
The issue of primitive performance seems to be in the background of how algorithms are implemented, which BLAS is running, compilation to server architecture, etc. One might measure the performance of 'very specific…
It would be interesting to see what happens if each language is compiled to the benchmark server, linked to the same BLAS and an expert implementation of the tests in each language was allowed; a scientifically valuable…
"Why do we use scientific languages?" is very true. Applause to the Julia contributors for their work on this innovative language with great out of the box support for modern computer chip architectures. However, they…
Hoping to put this or RPi3 into foldable card cases and connect to power, vga/lcd monitor, keyboard and mouse for schools in developing world. Would the chip or chip pro be better than RPi3 please?
For httpuv, author Joe Cheng advised cannot do a websocket-client. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28120307/how-to-interact... Looking forward to the improvements. Appreciate all your work in the field.
Thanks for the link on JSON and your packages, great work as always. I should clarify when I said we-client, I meant websockets client to consume feed. The last time I tried, the only R package (r-websockets) just…
For example, reshaping JSON to the format an intricate R function expects. Appreciate the great work with (d)plyr and similar packages, but it's still work and overhead. Combined with some inefficiencies/quirks in base…
R is really LISP with syntactic sugar and bindings to well respected high-performance FORTRAN matrix and math optimization codes. http://librestats.com/2011/08/27/how-much-of-r-is-written-in... It's great for bleeding…
