I guess I'll have to pilfer my Dad's HP-15C and Handbook for a few days and break open my calculus book and notes. There are a lot of techniques I do not know about regarding the HP-15C but I fully intend to eventually. The Voyager Series is so elegant and perfect (close to perfect, that is). |

Then thought I'd try to split the difference between your tests with FIX3. The machine shut down before it could give an answer, 5 minutes later... Are you sure the battery isn't just dead on your DM15? I ran that same test on mine and got the answer of 1.99 (FIX 2) in 8 seconds, 1.999 (FIX 3) in 61s and 1.9999 (FIX 4) in 478s. This is on a DM15L (exactly the same electronics and firmware as a DM15) on firmware V24 running at 48MHz. There is no real advantage to running the calculator at 12MHz because, while the drain on the battery may be slower at a lower frequency, it takes longer to get things done anyway so you're no better off energy-wise at the end of the day. |

From the HP-41C service manual, page 2-1:
Code: The nominal oscillator frequency of 1440 kHz is reduced by And from the 1LF5-0301/1LF5-002 CPU detailed description, page 3-4: Code: The 1LE3 CPU is designed for 41C and 11C, 12C calculator. Both documents are available on TOS. |

When - for the HP15C - I find 18,210,956 MCode instructions and divide it by the ~3950 MCode instructions per second you named I get 4,610 seconds or 1 hr and ~17 min what is within 2 minutes of the value shown in the a. m. link. The numbers seem plausible, but this does not neccessarily mean that the calculation is correct. ;-) I still wonder if the 15C really is that slow. Compare it to the 34C: the two given programs are virtually identical (the 15C version even requires one step less) but the 15C is slighty slower. The 34C was my first HP calculator, so I know that it is not very fast and slower than the HP67. But is the 15C really even slower? Maybe someone with a physical (and original) 15C can try the program listed on the linked webpage and see if it really takes almost 80 minutes to finish. Dieter |

I have a 15C, original made in USA. I can do the test for you, if you can post the link with the code again, since I'm lost in all the replies and I am not sure where to look!

Here you are: 8-queens benchmark in the original Articles Forum. Simply do a browser search for "15C" there and find the program about halfway down the page, where it says HP-15C HP-15C LE DM-15 ----------- The following program is supposed to run in about 80 minutes on a regular 15C.

EDIT: 1h 18m 45s ( +/- 1 s)
While we're waiting for the result (still running) I should mention that the code for the 15C of that benchmark is very bad. It doesn't take advantage of the built in looping instructions (ISG and DSE), while the 41C version does. So the two times are not comparable. I think we should rewrite the code with some optimization. I bet we can make it much faster than that HP 15C code Code:

No, I didn't care to optimize it, it was just food for thought
24 seconds in 79 minutes is VERY underwhelming though... Software Failure: Guru Meditation -- Antonio IU2KIY |

RE: HP 15C and INT(1/√(1-x),0,1)
Back to the original topic:
I used a C implementation of the Romberg algorithm to find the integral of f(x) = 1 / sqrt(1 - x) over the interval 0 - 1 It runs for a relatively long time (several seconds on my 3 GHz Intel i5) and it came up with this result: result = 2.000052194143781214563660 function evaluations = 1073741825 (1 billion of function evaluations!) I set an accuracy of 0.0001 with max steps = 100. I also used the interval from 0 to 0.99999999999 or else it would evaluate to NAN. If i set an accuracy of 0.01 I get this: result = 2.005444550190635499831160 function evaluations = 16777217 Code:

There's room for improvement there. The Romberg implementation in Free42, based on code written by Hugh Steers, reaches those levels of accuracy with 32767 and 255 evaluations, respectively. I used ACC = 0.000025 and 0.0025, respectively, since Free42 treats ACC as a relative error, and using 0.0001 and 0.01 produce results that are less accurate than your examples. |

yes that was a typo, see the code for reference.

RE: HP 15C and INT(1/√(1-x),0,1)
The HP-15C ADVANCED FUNCTIONS HANDBOOK has on page 47 a section about:
Transformation of Variables Quote:In many problems where the function changes very slowly over most of a very wide interval of integration, a suitable transformation of variables may decrease the time required to calculate the integral. You can use \(x=1-t^2\) which leads to: \[ \begin{eqnarray} dx&=&-2t\cdot dt \\ \sqrt{1-x}&=&t \\ \int_0^1\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}}dx&=&\int_1^0\frac{-2t}{t}dt \\ &=&2\int_0^1dt \\ &=&2t\bigg\vert_0^1 \\ &=&2-0=2 \end{eqnarray} \] Or then use \(x=\cos^2(t)\) which leads to: \[ \begin{eqnarray} \\ dx&=&-2\cos(t)\sin(t)dt \\ \sqrt{1-x}&=&\sin(t) \\ \int_0^1\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}}dx&=&\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^0\frac{-2\cos(t)\sin(t)}{\sin(t)}dt \\ &=&2\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\cos(t)dt \\ &=&2\sin(t)\bigg\vert_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \\ &=&2-0=2 \end{eqnarray} \] In both cases the resulting function can be integrated without problems. It's just a coincidence that both integrals can also be calculated easily algebraically. Cheers Thomas |
