@Dennis do we have fastest-code in TIO now?

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ no

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Shouldn'tthat be on talk.tryitonline.net?

@Dennis That's a cool programming language

@Dennis I seem to be getting an error in it

It has an error with getch

Inappropriate ioctl for device

oops

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Accurate timings on shared hardware are somewhere between difficult and impossible.

Probably wasn't written for non-interactive use. I'll fix that.

@Dennis you talked about some dedicated hardware you had though

scaleway has €0.006/hr fully dedicated ARM machines

€0.024/hr for the cheapest x86 machine

@noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ Yes, my machine at home. I'd need a seconds one though, as I'm using this one.

it would be lovely to have a "KoTH cloud" for TIO; perhaps you could restrict the dedi hardware to a PPCG users with a certain amount of reputation only

I think PPCG would have more KoTHs if they were easier to set up-- choice of language, I/O method, having to update it manually, etc. are all concerns

I don't see myself giving preferential treatment to any group of users.

ok

for Scaleway, their dedi stuff is an actual physical system on a chip

you get one chip

I believe we had issues with Scaleway when we tested them, but I'm willing to give it another try when the new API is done.

I know a guy who runs a server provider review website; i'll ask him for a cheap dedicated server good for timing things

oops, I can't DM them anymore

It's a bit weird that scaleway.com/en/bare-metal-instances doesn't actually tell you what CPU you get. Core count alone doesn't really tell you a lot...

Oh, that's buried within the FAQ..

the x86-64 stuff is a 1.3GhZ very specific kind of Intel Avoton

Sounds lovely.

you should be able to find the original quote using archive.org

"On C1 Instances, we use a Marvell XP 370 CPU, based on ARMv7 architecture, that supports VFPv3."

"A C1 instance gives a constant CPUMark of 12K. This is equivalent to an AWS M3 medium instance. The C1 instance provides a continual unit of computing perfect for horizontal scalability."

there is no hypervisor

I'm not really interested in ARM. It's probably too different from what people are used to to be useful.

And there are more than a few languages that do not support it (yet).

I bet they'll tell you the specific kind of CPU if you open up a support ticket

there's also kimsufi kimsufi.com/us/en/servers.xml (no hourly option)

With hourly billing, it should be easy cheap enough to figure out.

I suggest you strip -s or warm up the linux cache for the binary file before measuring the time

What if you made a CI/CD such that language authors could PR their language requests in, and also automatically force the language authors to add testcases to ensure TIO works?

You could add a file containing the initialization commands for the TIO image
