(3/10/2003) Here are the shootout benchmarks that have been ported to D so far:

• Ackermann's Function
• Array Access
• Count Lines/Words/Chars
• Exception Mechanisms
• Fibonacci Numbers
• Hash (Associative Array) Access
• Hashes, Part II
• Heapsort
• Matrix Multiplication (My C# version is here. It's much faster than the version on the Win32 shootout page)
• Nested Loops
• Random Number Generator
• Sieve of Erathostenes
• Statistical Moments (*** Crashes D compiler ***)
• String Concatenation
• Sum a Column of Integers (*** Currently broken ***)

Note that most of these are just quick ports I did. They may not take advantage of D's syntax or be optimized yet.

Below are some benchmark results for Windows. Hardware is a 2.2 Ghz P4M 1GB RAM (Dell C840 laptop), running Windows 2000 Professional SP3.

Would the hash scores for D be about the same as C if it were using something like simple_hash.h?

The ary3 benchmark doesn't show much for semi-fast languages because you're almost always memory bandwidth limited. I may post a read-only version of this test at some point.

msvc settings: /Ox
gcc settings: -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=pentium3
dmd settings: -O -inline -release
csc settings: /o /unsafe

Times are in seconds

Here are some benchmark results for Linux:
