Hi rjt and fellow Monks,
I updated the parallel demonstrations here and here to ensure orderly output plus cache miss update for parallel iM71. Then captured results for 1e8. Note that running parallel involves File::Map, pack, and unpack. Running Inline::C involves compiling C code on the first run.
Testing was done on a Windows 10 host inside a Docker container running Ubuntu 18.04.x and Perl 5.30.1. The hardware is an AMD 3970x box (32-cores with SMT disabled).
1e8 Output:
Collatz(63728127) has sequence length of 950 steps
Collatz(95592191) has sequence length of 948 steps
Collatz(96883183) has sequence length of 811 steps
Collatz(86010015) has sequence length of 798 steps
Collatz(98110761) has sequence length of 749 steps
Collatz(73583070) has sequence length of 746 steps
Collatz(73583071) has sequence length of 746 steps
Collatz(36791535) has sequence length of 745 steps
Collatz(55187303) has sequence length of 743 steps
Collatz(56924955) has sequence length of 743 steps
Collatz(82780955) has sequence length of 741 steps
Collatz(85387433) has sequence length of 741 steps

Collatz(93128575) has sequence length of 736 steps

Parallel now matches serial for sequences with equal number of steps (i.e. smallest sequence first).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
