Python benchmarking

Wow, so performance on the Air is comparable to a 2.3 GHz Core2Duo -- impressive!

iPad mini 2:
50000 passes = 1.04141
48011.9 pystones/second

amazing results...

iPhone 5s:
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 1.01324
This machine benchmarks at 49346.6 pystones/second

My desktop, an older quad core Ubuntu machine, gets 93980 pystones a second. My phone is half as fast as my desktop... That's insane!

iPad 3 = 13508 pystones/sec
Macbook Pro = 103550 pystones/sec

and just to show how far we've come...iphone 3G = 2885 pystones/sec

Since no one has listed it:

iPhone 4s (using Pystone 1.1 and Pythonista 1.5) = 10071.2 (pystones/sec)

So the iPhone 5s is ~4.9 times faster than the iPhone 4s (but the iPhone 4s is ~2.15 times faster than an iPod 5)

I only have an iPad 2. Here are my results:

Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 3.87673
This machine benchmarks at 12897.5 pystones/second

As you can see, performance is similar to the iPad 3, which has a different processor, but actually only its graphics part is faster, pure CPU power is about the same.

nope

That's not right... The 4s has the same processor as the ipod 5. Keep in mind I'm running pythonista 1.4.
Seems like they made quite an improvement from 1.4 to 1.5.
Could people please list the pythonista versions/ python versions they are using?

SpotlightKid

If you want to compare all your Python installations, there's the problem that the version of pystone.py linked in the first post doesn't work for Python >= 3 and the version included with your Python 3 installation doesn't work with Python 2.

So I created variant which fixes this (see the docstring for changes), taking the version from the Python mercurial default branch as the basis:

PS. My results for the iPad2 above were with Pythonista 1.5 (Python 2.7.5).

Adding an Iphone 5 with Pythonista 1.5:</p>
<code>Pystone(1.1.1) time for 50000 passes = 2.4415
This machine benchmarks at 20479.2 pystones/second</code>

nope

Pythonista 1.5, I'm getting 10413.3 pystones/second on the ipod touch 5th generation. There's a 100% jump from pythonista 1.4 to 1.5, that's impressive!

My iPad 3 gives me 13084.3 ps/sec with Pythonista 1.5<br>
And Samsung comp with Fedora 20 gives me 113778 ps/sec with Python 2.7.5

Idk how find out my comps GHz so...

@ShadowSlayer: cat /proc/cpuinfo

JadedTuna

@SpotlightKid, thanks. Looks like it is 2.4 GHz
