Hand coded Javascript v C speed

[op12no2]

Just a little experiment to get an idea of the speed difference between a hand-coded Javascript chess engine running in Node (Google V8 Javascript engine) v C. About x 3 to 4 for C.

I'll see how much faster I can make the C version now.

I'd love to see the javascript engine run in bun, it's compatible with node.js code and much faster: https://bun.sh/

Interesting, I'll try it. I think CCRL use Node but if bun is significantly faster it'd be a nice bump for the Javascript engines.

Slightly faster:-

Code: Select all

xyzzy@work:~$ bun clozza.js bench q
26.6 sec 51786380 nodes

xyzzy@work:~$ node clozza.js bench q
29.3 sec 51786380 nodes

I'll try a match...
