portable

Portable interpreter benchmarks

These workloads exercise ordinary Clojure programs that run unchanged in both Glojure and let-go. They complement microbenchmarks by covering lazy sequences, persistent maps and vectors, higher-order collection operations, nested function calls, and integer-heavy loops.

• prime-workload.clj: lazy prime generation and repeated factorization
• event-analytics.clj: aggregation of 75,000 event maps
• game-of-life.clj: 75 generations on a 48×48 board
• mandelbrot.clj: fixed-point Mandelbrot calculation on a 120×72 grid

Build Glojure, then compare it with a let-go executable:

go build -o /tmp/glj ./cmd/glj
go run ./benchmark/portable \
  -glojure /tmp/glj \
  -let-go /path/to/lg \
  -runs 11

The runner warms up both executables, checks that they produce identical output, alternates which executable runs first, and reports median wall-clock times. A Glojure/let-go ratio at or below 1.0 means Glojure is at least as fast for that workload.
