I want to participate in the google android contest.
I want to argue to google that the lazarus object pascal platform is a
better choice than Java.
I use the gentoo benchmark as a means make a case of it see
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/
In this benchmark game :-) you can find interesting things in the
regex-dna benchmark.
In this benchmark Java has as ranking of 4 and free pascal a ranking of 6.
the cputime of Java is 3.26 seconds, Free Pascal takes 4.37 seconds.
But the the memory usage of Java is 50.736 Kb, Free Pascal 11.436 Kb. So
Free Pascal is much more memory efficient.
But of you look further on this benchmark then you see a very
interesting alternative program :: Free Pascal #3 !
this Free Pascal Program uses 1.10 seconds and uses 19.604 Kb of memory.
So in this benchmark you can see that Free Pascal is much better than
Java.
But this Free Pascal #3 is more complex than the original program.
Optimization is a complex process. To reduce this complexity we have to
reverse enginer both programs.
The steps I want to follow is :
Document the program with Fpdoc. and my goal is to produce UML
documentation.
The Ecliopse Ide has plugins to accomplish this goal , for example
there is a hypermodel plugin.
In UML you can document Software Programs very well.
And the complex optimization process becomes much clearer
