Re: [IMP-dev] IMP speed

Thanks,Â

I'll try to figure out how to benchmark and profile the code then.

IMP is a very large and complex piece of software... so you'll have to be more specific - *what* is slower? Benchmarking, as Riccardo suggests, is one option - another would be to profile your code.

IMP 2.0.1 seems to be much faster (up to 6 times faster) as compared to
versions 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.1 (compiled with the "Release" flag).

âWhat I meant is that IMP 2.0.1 takes 6 times less then the others to perform the exact same task (e.g. one times unit vs six time units).â

What do you mean by "Release" flag? If you mean the cmake build type ("-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release") then that doesn't do a whole lot (IIRC, maybe some slightly different compile options on Linux; on Windows it'll change which C runtime you link against). What will make the most difference is what IMP check level you build with; if you use -DIMP_MAX_CHECKS=INTERNAL then the internal checks will definitely slow things down.

âI forgot to say that I am using the same cmake build types when complaining different IMP versions (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DIMP_MAX_LOG=SILENT -DIMP_MAX_CHECKS=NONE).

Anyway, I will do the benchmark.
