📊 Computational Geometry (QHull Replacement) - Three-Way Comparison

Comprehensive performance comparison of Phase 9 proprietary implementation versus Original GPL code and MATLAB built-in functions.

Pass column: Pass only when the proprietary time is strictly less than both the GPL and MATLAB times (Phase 6 and other phases). For Phase 4, GPL must be present; MATLAB may be missing (GPL-only reference). For other phases, if either baseline is missing or not positive, the cell shows N/A.

📝 Notes

  • Phase 9: Proprietary implementation using --enable-phase9
  • Original GPL: Standard Octave GPL implementation
  • MATLAB: Built-in optimized functions (reference)
  • All benchmarks run on the same hardware for fair comparison
  • Times are average execution time per function call
  • Improvement percentage shows Phase 9 vs Original GPL
