It would be awesome to have ATS on here. I found this thread where the  
maintainer said there was a lack of ATS experts and he wasn’t sure if the  
programs did the same thing:

[https://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?thread\_id=14942&forum\_id=2965&group\_id=100815](https://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=14942&forum_id=2965&group_id=100815)

I’m just wondering how we can get ATS on the benchmarks game and thought  
others might have some ideas. Perhaps I (or someone else) could email the  
maintainer?

In the ATS2 directory, I have the following entries:

fasta-redux k-nucleotide mandelbrot pidigits reverse-complement  
spectral-norm

In each case, I picked a top submission based on C or C++ and was able to  
match  
it with a version in ATS2 that is more or less a translation of the  
original version. I was  
hoping to generate some good publicity for ATS2.

Also, Will Blair told me that he got a version of n-body in ATS2 that would  
rank at the  
top as well.

Honestly, I don’t think that they really need ATS experts. If one uses  
gprof, one should  
be able to tell that the ATS version in each case does pretty much the same  
as its corresponding  
C/C++ version. On the other hand, I am an ATS/ATS2 expert. I don’t think  
that I can tell whether two  
pieces of ATS code do the same or not by just reading the code.

I think the concern for the Benchmark team is likely this: If some person  
is skeptical of the performance  
of ATS, then it would be very hard for them to defend ATS. If ATS were  
slow, then this concern would not  
be there. But it would not be exciting, either :)On Saturday, December 13, 2014 8:14:06 PM UTC-5, Cody Goodman wrote:

A suggestion.

It might be interesting to benchmark the JS, PHP, Perl, and Python code  
generated by atscc2js, atscc2php, ats2perl, and atscc2py, respectively. It  
can be a great occasion to tune these sub-compilers!On Saturday, December 13, 2014 8:14:06 PM UTC-5, Cody Goodman wrote:

A few of us tried e-mailing, but I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to have another.

Another option is we host our own version. I was hoping to do this, but  
really don’t see getting around to it anytime soon.On Sat, Dec 13, 2014 at 8:14 PM, Cody Goodman \<[codygman....@gmail.com](mailto:codygman....@gmail.com) wrote:

Is there some sort of framework we can reuse (is the benchmarks game code  
available) or is that something that would have to be created?On Saturday, December 13, 2014 7:27:02 PM UTC-6, Brandon Barker wrote:

Okay, I’ll take my question back. I was actually wondering what the problem  
was with adding the language to the original language benchmarks site. I  
clearly remember reading that it was possible to add new languages, but I  
clearly remember wrong: I just read on the FAQ that no languages are being  
added. Too bad. Not everybody has a site to publish an own version.On Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 4:07:17 AM UTC+1, gmhwxi wrote:

Download from the benchmarks game website  
[http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/play.html#languagex](http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/play.html#languagex) –

“The Python script “bencher does repeated measurements of program cpu time,  
elapsed time, resident memory usage, cpu load while a program is running,  
and summarizes those measurements” - download bencher  
[http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/download/bencher.zip](http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/download/bencher.zip) and unzip  
into your ~ directory, check the requirements and recommendations
