The fastest way to run a program in a 64-bit environment?

Question

Several decades have passed since I was engaged in programming. In fact, the last time I programmed was in the MS-DOS environment before Windows came out. I had this programming idea that I wanted to try for several years, and I thought I would try. The amount of computing is huge. Therefore, I want to run it in the fastest environment available to a regular hobby programmer.

I will use a 64-bit machine. Currently, it runs on Windows 7. A few years ago, the program worked much slower in Windows, and then in MS-DOS mode. My personal programming experience was in Fortran, Pascal, Basic, and the machine language for the Motorola 6800 series processors. I am basically ready to try anything. I cheated on Ubuntu too. No objection to the new training. I just want to take advantage of speed. I would rather not spend money on this project. Therefore, I am looking for a free or very close to a free compiler. I downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio C ++ Express. But I feel that the completed compiled code will have to run in a Windows environment. Which, I am sure, significantly slows down the processing speed.

So, I'm looking for ideas or pointers to what is available.

Thank,

Have a great day! Jim

Answer 1

In the Windows operating system, there is no significant decrease in performance, and this makes a large number of applications with very high performance. Thanks to new compiler advances and new optimization methods, Windows is no longer a new and poorly optimized technology that was twenty years ago.
