How does it make spreadsheets run 300 times faster?
Calc4Web completely takes advantage of the fact that programming code runs much faster than spreadsheet code. Calc4Web’s patent-pending technology actually converts the Excel spreadsheet formulas into C++ programming code, and then compiles it into binary code (0’s and 1’s). Excel needs to trade off between speed and flexibility. Every time the user hits F9 to recalculate in Excel, it needs to convert every cell in the spreadsheet into the binary 0’s and 1’s that the computer understands, as well as determine the right order to calculate the cells, and how to format them. Calc4Web isn’t hampered by any of that. Calc4Web directly generates binary code, so when the calculations are performed there’s no overhead. This makes Excel run up to 300 times faster.
