How can I get the source codes for the “Computer Language Benchmarks Game” (formerly known as the Great Language Shootout)?

Question

A student and I are building a new family of interpreters, which we would like to benchmark against existing interpreters. We would love to download a tarball or zip file conta

Answer 1

The zipball you downloaded was for the bencher module. You want the bench module (only packaged as part of the complete repo packages).

To get the benchmark sources from the official CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/benchmarksgame login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/benchmarksgame checkout benchmarksgame/bench

The repo is also available as an unofficial mirror on Github:

git clone git://github.com/kragen/shootout.git

Official repo tarball: https://alioth.debian.org/snapshots.php?group_id=100815

Unofficial mirror repo zipball: https://github.com/kragen/shootout/zipball/master
