A multiplatform comparison of a dynamic compilation using Roslyn and mathematical parser libraries in .NET for expression evaluation

Abstract

This work aims to provide a multiplatform comparison of a dynamic compilation using Roslyn and mathematical parser libraries in .NET for expression evaluation. In the first part, our own implementation of a mathematical parser, based on a new .NET compiler platform called Roslyn to implement onfly compiling for mathematical expressions, is introduced. We then define the benchmark and perform performance measurements of our solution against selected mathematical parsers. At the end of the work, we discuss the results of the benchmark on different platforms. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
