Update: Found the reason why cperl is failing with 64-bit, described below.
Hi tybalt89,
Perl is passing with 32 and 64 bits. Regarding cperl, it is passing 32 bits ($half = 16), but not 64 bits ($half = 32).
$ perl createblinker.pl 5000 -9000 100 >x.tmp 2>y.tmp
bin/perl
$ /opt/perl-5.24.2/bin/perl -I. tbench1.pl x.tmp 2
cell count at start = 15000
run benchmark for 2 ticks
cell count at end = 15000
time taken: 0 secs
bin/cperl
$ /opt/cperl-5.24.3c/bin/cperl -I. tbench1.pl x.tmp 2
cell count at start = 15000
run benchmark for 2 ticks
cell count at end = 6753 <-- fails on 64-bit hw ($half = 32)
time taken: 0 secs
The reason cperl is failing on 64-bit hw ($half = 32) is due to numbers converting to exponential notation.
# perl createblinker.pl 5 -9 100 >x.tmp 2>y.tmp
# print "@zcells\n";
9223372039002259557 -9.22337203900226e+18 -9.22337203900226e+18, ...
Running $half = 30 resolves the issue. If you want, $half may be set programmatically.
# use 30-bits on 64-bit hw for cperl compatibility
my $half = ( ( log(~0 + 1) / log(2) ) >= 64 ) ? 30 : 16;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
