About Benchmarks Game

Benchmarks Game compares measured performance across programming language implementations. It provides programs sorted by measurement, entries grouped by language implementation, box plot charts showing medians, dispersion and skew, side-by-side A versus B tables, and what-if views for more similar programs.

The site describes its tests as micro benchmarks that are easy to use and measure but far from realistic, and notes that comparisons are contentious because of different approaches and libraries.
