Microbenchmarks
March 2, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
A collection of micro-benchmarks comparing Julia's performance against other languages.
Benchmarks
All benchmarks implement identical algorithms across languages (serial, single-core). Times are normalized relative to C.
| Benchmark | Description |
|---|---|
iteration_pi_sum | Alternating power-series summation (nested loops) |
recursion_fibonacci | Doubly-recursive Fibonacci(20) |
recursion_quicksort | Quicksort on 5,000 random numbers |
parse_integers | Parse 1,000 random hex strings to integers |
print_to_file | Write 100,000 formatted lines to /dev/null |
matrix_statistics | Statistics on random 5x5 matrices (1,000 iterations) |
matrix_multiply | Multiply two random 1,000x1,000 matrices (BLAS) |
userfunc_mandelbrot | Mandelbrot set computation over a grid |
Languages
Mathematica and Matlab benchmarks are available but not run in CI.
