  • The Bitter Truth: Python 3.11 vs Cython vs C++ Performance for Simulations

    Most high-performance math libraries perform a lot of vectorization (Eigen, etc) under the hood. And you've got stuff like Klein, Vc (which is reminiscent of std::valarray), etc. Then there's OpenMP's #pragma omp simd (assuming version 4.0 or greater).

    I personally like the ideas in Parallelism v2 TS, which is available in for libstdc++ 11 onwards. The reference implementation is a library named Vc (afaik Vc is the most popular SIMD library for C++), and this has also been implemented in recent versions of HPX.

    > - Waiting for Cross-Platform standardized SIMD vector datatypes

    which language has standardized SIMD vector datatypes ? most languages don't even have any ability to express SIMD while in C++ I can just use Vc (https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc), nsimd (https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd) or one of the other ton of alternatives, and have stuff that JustWorksTM on more architectures than most languages even support

    - Using nonstandard extensions, libraries or home-baked solutions to run computations in parallel on many cores or on different processors than the CPU

    what are the other native languages with a standardized memory model for atomics ? and, what's the problem with using libraries ? it's not like you're going to use C# or Java's built-in threadpools if you are doing any serious work, no ? Do they even have something as easy to use as https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow ?

    - Debugging cross-platform code using couts, cerrs and printfs

    because people never use console.log in JS or System.println in C# maybe ?

    - Forced to use boost for even quite elementary operations on std::strings.

    can you point to non-trivial java projects that do not use Apache Commons ? Also, the boost string algorithms are header-only so you will end up with exactly the same binaries that if it was in some std::string_algorithms namespace:
