Lua挑战:你能改进mandelbrot实现的性能吗？

状态:到目前为止,最佳答案的程序在原始程序的33%的时间内执行!但可能还有其他方法可以优化它.

Lua目前是最快的脚本语言,但Lua在针对C/C++的一些基准测试中得分非常糟糕.

其中之一是mandelbrot测试(Generate Mandelbrot设置便携式位图文件N = 16,000),其中得分可怕1:109(多核)或1:28(单核)

由于Delta的速度非常大,因此这是优化的理想选择.此外,我确信那些知道Mike Pall是谁的人可能认为不可能进一步优化这一点,但这显然是错误的.任何做过优化的人都知道总是可以做得更好.此外我通过一些调整设法获得了一些额外的性能,所以我知道它可能:)

local width = tonumber(arg and arg[1]) or 100
local height, wscale = width, 2/width
local m, limit2 = 50, 4.0
local write, char = io.write, string.char

write("P4\n", width, " ", height, "\n")

for y=0,height-1 do
  local Ci = 2*y / height - 1
  for xb=0,width-1,8 do
    local bits = 0
    local xbb = xb+7
    for x=xb,xbb < width and xbb or width-1 do
      bits = bits + bits
      local Zr, Zi, Zrq, Ziq = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
      local Cr = x * wscale - 1.5
      for i=1,m do
        local Zri = Zr*Zi
        Zr = Zrq - Ziq + Cr
        Zi = Zri + Zri + Ci
        Zrq = Zr*Zr
        Ziq = Zi*Zi
        if Zrq + Ziq > limit2 then
          bits = bits + 1
          break
        end
      end
    end
    if xbb >= width then
      for x=width,xbb do bits = bits + bits + 1 end
    end
    write(char(255-bits))
  end
end

那么如何对其进行优化(当然,与任何优化一样,您必须测量实施以确保更快).并且你不允许为此改变Lua的C核心,或者使用LuaJit,它可以找到优化Lua弱点之一的方法.

编辑:给予奖励以使挑战更有趣.

通过2,比我以前更好(在我的机器上)约30%.主要的节省来自展开内部循环以分摊开销.

还包括(注释掉)是当你卡在中央心形中时,通过提前退出(并将像素设置为黑色)来节省时间的中止尝试.它有效,但无论我如何摇晃它都会慢一些.

我必须跑,但我会留下一个离别的建议.可能通过对结果进行行程编码来进行一些优化(因此,不是保存一堆bit-twiddled字符,而是保存列表(白点数,黑点数,白点数等). ).这个会:

减少存储/ GC开销

允许对输出生成进行一些优化(当数字为>> 8时)

允许一些轨道检测.

不知道它是否可以被编码得足够紧密以便飞行,但如果我有更多时间,那就是我会尝试下一步的地方.
