On the Performance of Multidimensional Array Representations in Programming Languages Based on Virtual Execution Machines

摘要

This paper evaluates the performance of virtual execution machines (VM) of the CLI and JVM standards for the common approaches to represent multidimensional arrays in high performance computing applications. In particular, it shows which representation is the best for each virtual machine implementation, showing that the choices may be surprisingly contradictory, even with respect to previous results of other works on performance evaluation of VMs.
