Benchmark Code for comparing Lua, OpenCL, and native C/C++ functions
This repository contains the benchmark code supplementing my blog post on a latency comparison of Lua, OpenCL, and plain C/C++.
Build
On *nix-like systems it is usually enough to call make:
$> make
If you run into issues, have a look at makefile and adjust compilers, etc.
Windows users should create a new project file in their favorite IDE and compile each of the three main applications funcptr, lua, or opencl.
Run
Run the executables via
$> ./funcptr
$> ./lua
$> ./opencl
Each of the three executables prints a table of execution times and bandwidths for different array sizes.
