Hi, Bill.
This will take some detective work to see what are the differences, if any, between how MPIR is built on macOS and Linux. It could be a configuration issue. Maybe I’ll get a student to look into this. – Ron http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~mak/ “On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.” -- Charles Babbage, 1791-1871, world’s first computer scientist From: 'Bill Hart' via mpir-devel <mpir-devel@googlegroups.com> Reply-To: <mpir-devel@googlegroups.com> Date: Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 2:16 AM To: mpir-devel <mpir-devel@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: [mpir-devel] Re: MPIR slow on macOS? That looks correct. So your idea that it might be swapping sounds pretty likely. I did find someone else reporting a slowdown the other day, and it turned out their program was linked to a very old GMP instead of the MPIR they built. I'm not a Mac expert, so I don't know how to check this, but I imagine you can find out online somewhere. Otherwise, I can't think of anything which would cause this to happen. Bill.

I’ve attached my pi program, which I assign to my C++ classes to give my students practice downloading, configuring, building, and deploying a software library. – Ron http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~mak/ From: 'Bill Hart' via mpir-devel <mpir-devel@googlegroups.com> Reply-To: <mpir-devel@googlegroups.com> Date: Monday, January 14, 2019 at 8:11 PM To: mpir-devel <mpir-devel@googlegroups.com> Subject: [mpir-devel] Re: MPIR slow on macOS? What does ./config.guess say your machine is? It's probably just too new to be detected correctly. Bill.

On a native Linux laptop with a Core i7 1.8 GHz CPU, my pi program executed in under 8 seconds. I installed MPIR 3.0.0 on my MacBook Pro laptop with a Core i7 2.3 GHz CPU and macOS Mojave 10.14.2. The same pi program took over 135 seconds to execute. Then I used VirtualBox to install Ubuntu 18.10 in a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro laptop. I installed MPIR 3.0.0 on the Ubuntu VM, and the same pi program ran in about 7 seconds. What is going on with MPIR on macOS to cause my pi program to run so much more slowly? It's apparently not a hardware issue, since the latter two runs of my pi program were on the same laptop, but on different operating systems. Does MPIR cause macOS to generate interrupts? Interpret certain instructions? Paging? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
