Ist Lisp Eine ‘Langsame’ Sprache?

Ein Laufzeitvergleich von LISP- mit PASCAL-Programmen

  • Chapter
GWAI-83

Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 76))

Abstract

An experiment is described, which compares runtimes of a large collection of PASCAL-and LISP-programs on a DECsystem-10 and on a VAX-11/780 computer. The most important result of this comparision is that in most cases compiled LISP-programs are as fast as the equivalent PASCAL-programs. This result gives rise to the conclusion that in a similar setting (machine and quality of the language processors) one is not constrained to the use of conventional programming languages because of runtime-efficiency.

Dieser Aufsatz entstand im Rahmen des Projekts HAM-ANS, das aus Mitteln des BMFT gefördert wird.
