[R] R 1.6.0 benchmark with and without optimized ATLAS
Hello,
I am updating my benchmark (http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm) to
recent versions of data analysis software (including R 1.6.0 and Splus 6.1),
and I now run it on a Pentium IV instead of the old Celeron 500 Mhz that
candidates for retirement. I test R under Windows Xp pro with and without
optimized BLAS. I use the optimized Rblas.dll for P4 found on CRAN. Here are
the results. Beside the discussion of limited role of the benchmark and
cautions on its interpretation (see the benchmark web page where this is
developed), does anyone want to comment it. I would more particularly
appreciate comments on the differences between results with and without the
optimized BLAS library (cross-product is 3 times faster, but linear
regression and inverse are slower with the optimized BLAS).
Best,
Philippe
