HP 12C Speed Test - Gamo - 08-22-2017 08:26 AM
I'm wondering how much the computation speed difference between HP 12C App for Android with Samsung S7 and Physical HP 12C+ by using this simple loop program.
The CPU speed is a lot difference between these two and let see how much difference.
01 ENTER
02 ENTER
03 +
04 GTO 03
1 ENTER 1 ENTER R/S for 1 minute R/S
Add two numbers 1+1 for 1 minute and compare the grand total result.
12C on Android 15796078 per 1 second = 263268
12C+ 75637 per 1 second = 1261

One more test comparison this time using shorter loop program.
01 +
02 GTO 01
Test: 1 ENTER ENTER ENTER R/S run for 1 minute R/S
1+1+1+ .. .......... +1 for 1 minute
Approximate Result
12C+ 79029 -------> 1317 per second
12C App 12491137 ---> 208186 per second

side note: I would test something more intensive (savage benchmark maybe?) because basic operations may be quite optimized, while others are less. (common, but not so trivial. So trigonomery, exponentiation)
RE: HP 12C Speed Test - Gamo - 08-23-2017 07:22 AM
Hello pier4r
I did try this on more sophisticate program like finding the Prime Factor still both version speed are much difference even though the 12+ is a Emulated version versus the App.

Simply 1 [ENTER] [ENTER] [ENTER] [R/S]. ;-)

Now compare this with a classic original hardware 12C.
What do you get? 10?

Here are some results, using the same 2-liner, from past testing:
1985 12C: 499
1992 12C: 518
2003 12C (1x2032): 511
Early (silver, no undo) 12CP: 3150
Later (silver, w/ undo) 12CP: 1424
25th Ann 12CP: 1446
30th Ann 12C: 72,684
HP-25C: 535
Nothing surprising, though the slowdown in the 2nd-gen 12CP is interesting.

I suppose this is per minute. So that's about 8...9 per second.

Interesting.
Especially the anniversary version.

The 34C probably was not much faster. That's why I was impressed with the speed of the 41C when I eventually got one. ;-)

Gene: UNDO has some overhead for the functions it applies to it seems.

Yes, so your guess was quite good. Meant to say that when I posted, but clearly forgot.

My thinking too, which is why I quoted 'w/ undo' to describe. This may have been before Cyrille was involved, but we'll ask at HHC if we speak with him. It makes sense there would be some overhead, but half as fast seems like a lot of overhead....
RE: HP 12C Speed Test - marszelest - 07-11-2022 06:49 PM
I bought an hp12C, version for the French market,
it's the fastest 12C I've seen so far
in the test "12" it is very unstable,
error 9 did not appear after the tenth attempt

Anecdotally, since I haven't formally timed it.
I recently purchased a home and used the mortgage parameters in the TVM functions.
On an original 12C, calculating the payment takes a noticeable time, and using the amortization function to find the total interest after 360 payments, takes minutes.
The one cell model is similar.
The 12cp is faster but still takes time.
New build (2020) is practically instant.
The Android app is instant.
That goes along with the statements I've seen that HP intentionally kept the processor speed down on second generation models, so the performance matched the original.
In some respects, I have to agree, seeing the "running" flash has a degree of satisfaction that it is working hard.
The DM12L is in between, depending upon which speed is set.

Is it normal that my 12CP takes several minutes to run the above script?
So far 5 minutes passed and it's still running...
RE: HP 12C Speed Test - lvt - 12-27-2022 12:39 PM
I did the test again for 2 minutes and when I press R/S, the screen shows 2,858.
Is it good?

The above code has no control structure to cause it to stop looping, in other words, it will continue until the battery runs down.
A better test is the calculation of Pi program at this page.

On 1980's Era models, it runs in about 90 minutes.
On a 2018 unit, it runs in less than a minute.

I tried the script for the original 12C on my 12CP but I got "Error 6".
Not sure whether it's the different version or I made a typo.
RE: HP 12C Speed Test - ctrclckws - 12-27-2022 07:42 PM
There is a 12C Platinum version, it takes about 2 days to run on my relatively recent version.
I didn't try the 12C code on the Platinum.
But if you do, make sure it's in RPN mode, not ALG

Yes it's in RPN, the input was smooth but only when I come back to the Run mode and run the code that I see the error.
Maybe I would try the 12CP code when I have another 12C, in fact I'm thinking about buying a gold 12C that is available locally for $60 so everyone in the family can use this Platinum thanks to its algebraic capability.

Quote:based on:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
pi = 2 x sigma[i,1,1,log2(10)*N,i/(2*i+1)]
= 2 + 1/3 * (2 + 2/5 * (2 + 3/7 * (2 + 4/9 * (2 + ......
where N = number of decimal digits
From Calculating Digits of \(\pi\):
Quote:Here's the interesting relation to \(\pi\):
\(
\begin{align}
\pi = 2 + \frac{1}{3}\left(2 + \frac{2}{5}\left(2 + \frac{3}{7}\left(2 + \cdots \right)\right)\right)
\end{align}
\)
Thus we can write in this specific basis: \(\pi = 2.2222\cdots\).
Apparently a spigot algorithm was used.

I realized that on my 12CP I have to enter 001, 002, 003... instead of 01, 02, 03... or the code won't run.
Probably because the 12CP has 400 steps programming while the 12C only has 99 steps?
