I took a course in high performance scientific computing. An experiment we performed was to write a program for the sum of three huge arrays, repeated for larger and larger arrays, until it crashed, in C, C++, Fortran and Java. The C won quite handily at least when the C++ program was one that would compile equally well in C. The compiler was GCC in both cases, I don't know about the Fortran or Java (which is not, strictly speaking, a "compiled" language). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
