5 new diagrams (Graphviz DOT → PNG):
benchmark-ack.dot — ack(3,4) across all 5 tiers
benchmark-sumto.dot — sum-to(50k) across all 5 tiers
benchmark-fib.dot — fib(35) iterative across all 5 tiers
benchmark-speedup.dot — JIT speedup ratios (7x-784x)
benchmark-binary-size.dot — 13KB asm vs 171KB C vs ~30MB Python
JIT: 0.19ms ack, 7x faster than CPython, 784x faster than Python VM.
Makefile docs target now auto-discovers all docs/*.dot files.
Fresh in-process benchmarks across all implementations:
JIT: ack 0.19ms, fib 0.09ms, sum 0.55ms
CPython: ack 1.3ms, fib 0.006ms, sum 5.5ms
C interp: ack 20ms, fib 0.06ms, sum 109ms
Python VM: ack 149ms, fib 0.75ms, sum 437ms
Assembly: ack 8ms, fib 0.6ms, sum 43ms
JIT runs Scheme 7-10x faster than CPython runs Python.
Updated: language identified as R7RS Scheme throughout.
Test count updated to 943 across all implementations.
4 architecture diagrams (Graphviz DOT → PNG):
python-architecture.dot — bytecode VM + continuations + portal
c-architecture.dot — tree-walker + VM + JIT tiers
asm-architecture.dot — syscalls-only, 13KB binary
jit-pipeline.dot — AST → x86_64 machine code flow
docs/README.md — full architecture docs with embedded diagrams
and performance summary across all implementations.
Makefile: add asm-repl, docs target, clean-docs. Header comments
document all targets and test suites.
CLAUDE.md: add "A diagram is worth 10,000 words" (russell@unturf.com),
implementation table, test suite inventory.
Assembly is 2.5-4x faster than C interpreter on recursive workloads.
JIT remains 33x faster than hand-written assembly.
