- Find the eigenvalues of $A,\;\ldots\;T^{R-1}A$.
|

|

To validate the computation, the benchmark program displays the eigenvalues of $T^r A$, with $r \in \{0, \ldots, R\}$ controlled by a slider. Displaying the eigenvalues isn't part of the benchmark computation, so it isn't timed.

The language comparison benchmark uses 64-bit floating point matrices of size $N = 60$. Other variants of the benchmark, used to compare different design decisions within Rust, are described at the end.

## Rust benchmark variants
|

### Low-precision variant
|
||||
- For matrices of size $N = 50$, using 32-bit floating point instead of 64-bit made the computation about 15% faster (60 ms instead of 70 ms). However, for $N \ge 54$, the 32-bit floating point variant would hang indefinitely! Maybe the target precision doesn't change to accommodate the lower-precision data type?
|
||||
### Statically sized variant
|
||||
- For matrices of size $N = 60$, using statically sized matrices instead of dynamically sized ones made the computation about 10% *slower* (125–130 ms instead of 110–120 ms).
