 1 : Are the MicroPython programs faster? At a glance.

Each chart bar shows, for one unidentified benchmark, how much the fastest MicroPython program used compared to the fastest Python 2 program.

(Memory use is only compared for tasks that require memory to be allocated.)

These are not the only compilers and interpreters. These are not the only programs that could be written. These are not the only tasks that could be solved. These are just 10 tiny examples.

 2 : Are the MicroPython programs faster? Approximately.

Each table row shows, for one named benchmark, how much the fastest MicroPython program used compared to the fastest Python 2 program.

(Memory use is only compared for tasks that require memory to be allocated.)

MicroPython used what fraction? used how many times more?

† possible mismatch - one-core program compared to multi-core program.

± read the measurements and then read the program source code.

 3 : Are the MicroPython programs faster? Measurements.

These are not the only tasks that could be solved. These are just 10 tiny examples. These are not the only compilers and interpreters. These are not the only programs that could be written.

For each named benchmark, measurements of the fastest MicroPython program are shown for comparison against measurements of the fastest Python 2 program.

 4 : Are there other MicroPython programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest MicroPython and Python 2 programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are other implementations of these benchmark programs for MicroPython.

Python 2 PyPy Python 3 Python dev PyPy 3 Jython IronPython Cython Nuitka Shedskin Numba Pyston MicroPython Grumpy Graal RustPython

Maybe one of those other MicroPython programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.
