Performance Comparison

Performance Comparison Snapshot

I generated this snapshot automatically with tests/benchmark_compare.sh.

• generated_utc: 2026-03-02T14:02:12Z
• host: runnervmnay03
• kernel: Linux 6.14.0-1017-azure x86_64
• l0c: ./bin/l0c
• gcc: gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04.1) 13.3.0

Method

I compare process-level throughput (ops/s) for equivalent minimal tasks:

• build throughput: compile/build a minimal add kernel/program repeatedly
• run throughput: execute add with two decimal args repeatedly

This is an operational comparison, not a language-runtime microbenchmark.

Results

Workload	L0 (l0c) ops/s	GCC C ops/s
Build minimal add artifact	1242	20
Run minimal add artifact/program	1560	1076

Notes

• I run this on the local host, so values are machine-dependent.
• CI smoke/full perf gates remain the enforcement source for regressions.
