Tcl and Java Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Combining scripting languages such as Tcl with lower−level programming languages such as Java offers new opportunities for flexible and rapid software development. In this paper, we benchmark various combinations of Tcl and Java against the two languages alone. We also provide some comparisons with JavaScript. Performance can vary by well over two orders of magnitude. We also uncovered some interesting threading issues that affect performance on the Solaris platform.

Scripting For Java
Tcl has been initially developed as an embeddable command language to provide what we now call ”scripting” to complex applications. The ”scripting” or ”high level language” approach to provide control to applications from command lines, configurations files or ”macros” has been very successful and a major winning case for Tcl. In the last six years, Java appeared as a programming language and r...
متن کاملCreating a Multimedia Extension for Tcl Using the Java Media Framework
The Java Media Framework (JMF) provides a rich set of functionality for building multimedia applications. Using the JMF to build simple multimedia applications is trivial; however, using the JMF to build more complex, interactive multimedia presentations is a much more difficult task. With the recently introduced integration of Tcl and Java, the Tcl language can now be extended to provide a scr...
متن کاملTcl and Java Integration
This paper describes the motivations and strategies behind our group’s efforts to integrate the Tcl and Java programming languages. From the Java perspective, we wish to create a powerful scripting solution for Java applications and operating environments. From the Tcl perspective, we want to allow for cross-platform Tcl extensions and leverage the useful features and user community Java has to...
متن کاملJacl: A Tcl Implementation in Java
Jacl, Java Command Language, is a version of the Tcl [1] scripting language for the Java [2] environment. Jacl is designed to be a universal scripting language for Java: the Jacl interpreter is written completely in Java and can run on any Java Virtual Machine. Jacl can be used to create Web content or to control Java applications. This paper explains the need for Jacl as a scripting language f...

The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is an embedded database system that can be used in applications requiring high-performance concurrent storage and retrieval of key/value pairs. The software is distributed as a library that can be linked directly into an application. It provides a variety of programmatic interfaces, including callable APIs for C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, and Tcl. Users may do...
