So I backed out the path changes.
Great, thanks. I don't want to stand in the way of progress here, I
completely agree that nofib needs to be overhauled, but I want to be
sure that we're all on board with the direction first, and we should
have a heads-up before any major changes that may break existing
infrastructure.
FWIW Simon and I use nofib quite a lot to spot performance regressions.
Even in its current state it is quite useful for that.
Can we get the 'GHC Build Reports'
build bot fixed to publish logs please?
I'll look into it.
I have no idea why nofib is
failing as I can view the logs. So can you let me know why its failing
but more importantly can we get the log uploads fixed.
I want to make nofib more useful. I've created a ticket to track this here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5793
I'll add some of my thoughts to the ticket.
Basically though the recent changes were about cleaning. So removed
dead code. And a lot of work to get all the benchmarks from Fibon
working. As part of this I created a new top level directory
"benchmarks" and put all the benchmarks under it.
We now have the following benchmark groups:
- imaginary
- spectral
- real
- gc
- hackage
- parallel
- repa
- shootout
- smp
I've left the top 3 on be default as before for now but once I've done
some more work would like to enable all of these by default.
Ok, but let's keep an eye on the runtime. Note that I'm doing 4-5 nofib
runs on each of the nightly builders right now, if we go wild and
multiply the time for each run then my nightly builds could easily be
still going the next day.
Cheers,
Simon

Move benchmarks into benchmark/ subdir.
Has there been any discussion of this? You do know we're using nofib
quite
actively, and this is likely to break scripts etc., right?
No sorry. I wasn't aware of any such things, nofib has always seemed
quite unmaintained to me but I guess that impression is wrong? Should
I revert or are the scripts fine.
The nofib runs in the nightly builds failed. Could you back this out
please, and then let's discuss what we want to do.
Cheers,
Simon
