I tried the J script demonstration, by Anonymous Monk, on a box running Clear Linux. The following are the steps taken.

Installation:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j903/install/j903_linux64.tar.g
+z
tar xzf j903_linux64.tar.gz -C ~/
[download]

Script modification:

Next, I made a change to not output CR so able to compare against original output without CR. For some reason, pressing a key or the return key does not exit the script (resolved by removing two lines).

$ diff llil.ijs llil2.ijs 
50c50
< text =: , words ,. TAB ,. (nums ,. CR) ,. LF
---
> text =: , words ,. TAB ,. nums ,. LF
64,65d63
< echo 'Finished. Waiting for a key...'
< stdin ''

Non-AVX results:

$ ~/j903/bin/jconsole llil2.ijs big1.txt big2.txt big3.txt out.txt
Read and parse input:    0.850145
Classify, sum, sort:     2.08596
Format and write output: 1.24986
Total time:              4.18597

AVX2 results:

From the wiki, "The initial installation is non-AVX and finishing the steps upgrades to AVX or AVX2 as appropriate."

# Update J engine to AVX or AVX2, depending on the CPU.

$ ~/j903/updateje.sh

Anonymous Monk, blessings and grace. Thank you, for the J Programming Language demonstration.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
