The ‘Specalization Compiler’ for Python ‘Psyco’ works also with QNX6!!
See the performance tests below …
Python program without Psyco:
def hanoi(n):
han_move(“a”, “c”, “b”, n)
def han_move(frm, to, also, n):
if (n < 2):
return frm, to
else:
return han_move(frm, also, to, n - 1),
han_move(frm, to, also, 1),
han_move(also, to, frm, n - 1)
i = 0
while i<10000:
hanoi (8)
i = i+1
time python hanoi.py
19.10s real 18.92s user 0.00s system
^^^^^
Python program with PSYCO:
#import the specialization compiler
import psyco
def hanoi(n):
han_move(“a”, “c”, “b”, n)
def han_move(frm, to, also, n):
if (n < 2):
return frm, to
else:
return han_move(frm, also, to, n - 1),
han_move(frm, to, also, 1),
han_move(also, to, frm, n - 1)
specialize han_move
psyco.bind(han_move)
i = 0
while i<10000:
hanoi (8)
i = i+1
RESULT:
time python psy_hanoi.py
2.17s real 1.87s user 0.02s system
^^^^
Python + PSYCO is 10 times FASTER ! Its nearly C speed …
