It's a bit late/early but the F4 looks to be about 2091.725 milliseconds.

Will try H7 later

Hi All,

Running the code as listed causes errors so I changed all the variables like EM# to EM etc then it hit a CSNG(EM#) command that fails so I replaced that with a plain EM.

The program now runs but it reports 11.xxxxxx seconds even though it calculates it apparently immediately (no discernible delay).

Now it reports the result (incorrectly at 11seconds as it is) but errors with a STOP command.

What have I done wrong here? I expect a similar result to Peter's as i have an i7 11700

Kind Regards,

Mick

That got me too Mick. The timer is in milli-seconds. Use:

630 EM=(TIMER-SM)/1000

My MM2 takes a bit over 5 seconds.

Line numbers and GOTOs?

Sigh.

Yeah that's messed up. As soon as I discovered QB4.5 (mid-80's), both those things were eliminated.

Nice

As much as it pains me to use FB, I might just join the group and post these results.

Can't tell what their DOSBox equates to.

In my QB4.5 days, it was something like 386+387 @ 33MHz (?)

Hi Bill, All,

Ahh, thank you, so my PC with MMB4W runs the code in 0.011 seconds! That makes sense as I see no delay from starting till it finishes.

The power of the PC is amazing running interpreted basic. I also own a copy of Power Basic Console Compiler, I will see if I can get it to run on a modern PC ( if I can get the floppy disks onto my new pc, hmm that might be an issue)

Regards,

Mick (the Big one)

Fantastic product! Bob Zale kept it real! I seem to remember a standalone Hello World in 15K bytes

I have PBCC4 and PBWIN8 on my DropBox. Might see if they'll install without p/w.

Edit: No-go. Don't have serial numbers. Have emailed PowerBasic, dunno if they'll cooperate.

I was worried until I realised that the test was only for 50 places.

As a comparison to show that better algorithms can compensate for hardware, try this from a few years ago

BlueberryPi.zip
On MMB4W, 121mS for 1000 digits compared with 6 seconds.
It's not all due to the linenumbers!

Okay, with the BlueberryPi.bas test with MMB4W I get 41 mS for a 1000 digits on my new laptop.
