It seems that the calculations in the JavaScript micro benchmark analogous to the Julia code
trace((P.'*P)^4)
had some issues:P.'*P
was incorrectly sized asn x n
, instead of the actual4n x 4x
. JavaScriptFloat64Array
s do not throw an error when reading or writing outside of its boundaries, which probably contributed to the confusion.PMatMul
andQMatMul
were being calculated twice. I took the trick from the C benchmark and calculated a second power of two after the first, while reusing matrices where possible.This seems to make the function more than 3 times slower, but it favours fairness towards the other benchmarks. In the future, one might consider making a version of the same program
that compiles to WebAssemblyin asm.js.
