Wait, $ cat venum2.hs module Main (main) where import Text.Printf import Control.Applicative import System.Environment import Data.Array.Vector main = do [size] <- map read <$> getArgs let ints = enumFromToU' 0 size :: UArr Int printf "%d\n" (sumU ints) enumFromToU' from to = unfoldU (to - from) f from where f i = let i' = i + 1 in JustS (i' :*: i') $ ghc -O2 --make venum2 [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( venum2.hs, venum2.o ) Linking venum2 ... $ ./venum2 +RTS -sstderr -RTS 1000000 ./venum2 1000000 +RTS -sstderr 1784293664 48,256,384 bytes allocated in the heap 6,256 bytes copied during GC 26,804 bytes maximum residency (1 sample(s)) 25,524 bytes maximum slop 1 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation) $ ./venum2 +RTS -sstderr -RTS 10000000 ./venum2 10000000 +RTS -sstderr -2004260032 481,937,552 bytes allocated in the heap 19,516 bytes copied during GC 26,804 bytes maximum residency (1 sample(s)) 25,512 bytes maximum slop 1 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation) So we have constant memory, but linear allocation, just like with the random numbers. With enumFromToU, also the allocation is constant, so unfoldU allocates, enumFromToU not. > > So the question is why random number list generator eats O(n) memory ? It doesn't, not here, at least. Using System.Random, the allocation figures are about ten times as high, but the residency is about the same. Putting the PRNG code in the same file and tweaking things a bit (eliminating all intermediate Integers, e.g.), I get $ cat ran2Vec.hs {-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns #-} module Main (main) where import Text.Printf import Control.Applicative import System.Environment import Data.Array.Vector randomListU :: (Int, Int) -> StdGen -> Int -> (UArr Int) randomListU b@(l,h) g size = unfoldU size gen g where !k = h-l+1 !b' = 2147483561 `rem` k gen !g = let (!x, !g') = stdNext g in JustS ((l+ (x+b') `rem` k) :*: g') main = do [size] <- map read <$> getArgs let ints = randomListU (-10, 10) (mkStdGen 1) size printf "%d\n" (sumU ints) data StdGen = StdGen {-# UNPACK #-} !Int {-# UNPACK #-} !Int mkStdGen :: Int -> StdGen mkStdGen s | s < 0 = mkStdGen (-s) | otherwise = StdGen (s1+1) (s2+1) where (q, s1) = s `divMod` 2147483562 s2 = q `mod` 2147483398 {-# INLINE stdNext #-} stdNext :: StdGen -> (Int, StdGen) -- Returns values in the range stdRange stdNext (StdGen s1 s2) = z' `seq` g' `seq` (z', g') where !g' = StdGen s1'' s2'' !z' = if z < 1 then z + 2147483562 else z !z = s1'' - s2'' !k = s1 `quot` 53668 !s1' = 40014 * (s1 - k * 53668) - k * 12211 !s1'' = if s1' < 0 then s1' + 2147483563 else s1' !k' = s2 `quot` 52774 !s2' = 40692 * (s2 - k' * 52774) - k' * 3791 !s2'' = if s2' < 0 then s2' + 2147483399 else s2' $ ghc -O2 -funbox-strict-fields -funfolding-use-threshold=16 --make ran2Vec -o ran2AVec5 Linking ran2AVec5 ... $ ./ran2AVec5 +RTS -sstderr -RTS 10000000 ./ran2AVec5 10000000 +RTS -sstderr 5130 521,828,888 bytes allocated in the heap 8,664 bytes copied during GC 26,788 bytes maximum residency (1 sample(s)) 25,636 bytes maximum slop 1 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation) nearly the same allocation figures as for the *much* simpler enumFromToU', and it's about ten times as fast as System.Random. > > Regards, > Vasyl Pasternak > > 2010/2/9 Vasyl Pasternak <vasyl.paster...@gmail.com>: > > Sorry, maybe I should ask more clearer. > > > > I've looked at dons article "Haskell as fast as C"[1], and tried to > > implement similar algorithm but for list of random numbers. > > > > Please look at code: > >> import Text.Printf > >> import Control.Applicative > >> import System.Environment > >> import Data.Array.Vector > >> > >> main = do > >> [size] <- map read <$> getArgs > >> let ints = enumFromToU 0 size :: UArr Int > >> printf "%d\n" (sumU ints) > > > > This code runs in constant space (on my pc ~25kb allocates on the > > heap) regardless of array size.
