c++ - D与C++相比有多快？

我喜欢D的某些功能，但是如果它们带有一个
运行时间的损失？

相比之下，我实现了一个简单的程序，该程序可以同时在C++和D中计算许多短 vector 的标量积。结果令人惊讶:

D:18.9 s [请参见下面的最终运行时间]

C++:3.8 s

C++真的快五倍还是我在D中弄错了
程序？

我在最近的中等Linux桌面上使用g++ -O3(gcc-snapshot 2011-02-19)和dmd -O(dmd 2.052)编译了C++。在多次运行中结果可重现，标准偏差可忽略不计。

这是C++程序:

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <chrono>
#include <string>

#include <vector>
#include <array>

typedef std::chrono::duration<long, std::ratio<1, 1000>> millisecs;
template <typename _T>
long time_since(std::chrono::time_point<_T>& time) {
      long tm = std::chrono::duration_cast<millisecs>( std::chrono::system_clock::now() - time).count();
  time = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
  return tm;
}

const long N = 20000;
const int size = 10;

typedef int value_type;
typedef long long result_type;
typedef std::vector<value_type> vector_t;
typedef typename vector_t::size_type size_type;

inline value_type scalar_product(const vector_t& x, const vector_t& y) {
  value_type res = 0;
  size_type siz = x.size();
  for (size_type i = 0; i < siz; ++i)
    res += x[i] * y[i];
  return res;
}

int main() {
  auto tm_before = std::chrono::system_clock::now();

  // 1. allocate and fill randomly many short vectors
  vector_t* xs = new vector_t [N];
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    xs[i] = vector_t(size);
      }
  std::cerr << "allocation: " << time_since(tm_before) << " ms" << std::endl;

  std::mt19937 rnd_engine;
  std::uniform_int_distribution<value_type> runif_gen(-1000, 1000);
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < size; ++j)
      xs[i][j] = runif_gen(rnd_engine);
  std::cerr << "random generation: " << time_since(tm_before) << " ms" << std::endl;

  // 2. compute all pairwise scalar products:
  time_since(tm_before);
  result_type avg = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < N; ++j)
      avg += scalar_product(xs[i], xs[j]);
  avg = avg / N*N;
  auto time = time_since(tm_before);
  std::cout << "result: " << avg << std::endl;
  std::cout << "time: " << time << " ms" << std::endl;
}

这是D版本:

import std.stdio;
import std.datetime;
import std.random;

const long N = 20000;
const int size = 10;

alias int value_type;
alias long result_type;
alias value_type[] vector_t;
alias uint size_type;

value_type scalar_product(const ref vector_t x, const ref vector_t y) {
  value_type res = 0;
  size_type siz = x.length;
  for (size_type i = 0; i < siz; ++i)
    res += x[i] * y[i];
  return res;
}

int main() {
  auto tm_before = Clock.currTime();

  // 1. allocate and fill randomly many short vectors
  vector_t[] xs;
  xs.length = N;
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    xs[i].length = size;
  }
  writefln("allocation: %i ", (Clock.currTime() - tm_before));
  tm_before = Clock.currTime();

  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < size; ++j)
      xs[i][j] = uniform(-1000, 1000);
  writefln("random: %i ", (Clock.currTime() - tm_before));
  tm_before = Clock.currTime();

  // 2. compute all pairwise scalar products:
  result_type avg = cast(result_type) 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < N; ++j)
      avg += scalar_product(xs[i], xs[j]);
  avg = avg / N*N;
  writefln("result: %d", avg);
  auto time = Clock.currTime() - tm_before;
  writefln("scalar products: %i ", time);

  return 0;
}

最佳答案

要启用所有优化并禁用所有安全检查，请使用以下DMD标志编译D程序:

-O -inline -release -noboundscheck

编辑:我已经尝试过使用g++，dmd和gdc编写程序。 dmd确实落后，但是gdc的性能非常接近g++。我使用的命令行是gdmd -O -release -inline(gdmd是gdc的包装器，它接受dmd选项)。

查看汇编程序列表，看起来既没有dmd也没有gdc内联scalar_product，但是g++/gdc确实发出了MMX指令，因此它们可能会自动向量化循环。
