Hi,

First off, please download this ZIP file. You will need to extract the EXE from the ZIP file before you can run it.

Its basically a piece of code I wrote to accept a string containing wildcards, and return as many matches as possible from a dictionary of about 180,000 words.

There are two tests I want you to do.

1. Type in 'p??at?' - should return 7 results.
2. Type in '????' - should return 3,919 results.

(it doesn't show you the actual results, as printing them all to the screen slows down the test and gives inaccurate results).

I need to know the time taken (this is shown at the end in milliseconds (ms)), and also, your processor speed. If you have a really rubbish system tucked away somewhere, PLEASE test on this!

That's it. Thx in advance. :)

My results:

TEST 1: 43ms
TEST 2: 37ms
CPU: Athlon XP3000+ @ 2.16GHz
 
Test 1: 35ms
Test 2: 32ms
CPU: AMD Opteron 148 (2.2GHz)
RAM: 1Gb DDR

CPU - Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz (not currently overclocked)
RAM - PC4000 DDR 512Mb

If you care to compile it into Unix then i'll run it on my G4 and G5's :)
 
Thx for all the results so far. The P2-233 results are a little disturbing but I guess that'd be way below my minimum system requirements anyway.

I've had other people testing this and got results of around 100ms on a Duron 1.3Ghz, and I think I can just about get away with that. I don't think they're bad results anyway considering what the processor is doing in that time (specifically, iteration through over 170,000 elements of a datatype collection and about two and a half million string comparisons).
