Comparison of Go and Rust language features for efficient systems programming.
The programs were run on Amazon EC2 C5 instances. The instructions for installion on running the programs on the machine are given below.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env && sudo yum update && sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel && sudo yum update && sudo yum install golang
git clone https://github.com/ajitJJadhav/go-vs-rust.git
We used sum of squares implementation (both parallel and non-parallel codes) for comparison of both languages. The parallel code was run of AWS EC2 C5 instances with multiple configurations (2 vCPU, 4 vCPU, 8 vCPU, 16 vCPU).
To run the Rust code, go to /rust/programs/sum_of_squares and run the code using the following commands:
cargo build
cargo bench
This will run the non parallel and parallel codes and show the benchmarks for the same.
To run the Go code, go to /Go/programs folder in this repository and run the parallel.go code using the command:
go run parallel.go
This will run the non parallel version followed by the parallel version of the code with the run times of both. (There are a few other codes in the same folder which can be run, but some of them are incomplete)
