Lang-Bench

Compare the performance of equivalent programs to find the kth prime in C, Python, and Java.

Build the C and Java programs:

./build.sh

This puts compiled files in an out subdirectory. Note, that the C program is compiled twice: once "normally" and once with the -O2 option to enable "level 2 optimization" in gcc.

Run all of the programs and report timings:

./run.sh

All of the programs are hard-coded to find the 10000'th prime number. Modifying them to be more flexible (e.g. take a command-line arg to specify "k") is left as an exercise for the reader.
