ANN: deepseq-bounded 0.5 -> 0.6

2015-01-25 Thread Andrew Seniuk
This may affect depending code. Please consult the distro changelog
for specific information about how your code might be affected, or
better yet, refer to

  http://www.fremissant.net/deepseq-bounded/transition-5-6-7.html

and

  http://www.fremissant.net/deepseq-bounded/grammar.html

This is a transitional version of deepseq-bounded, with stability
of the grammar expected in early March for version 0.7.

This also causes major version bumps to the seqaid and leaky packages.
To update everything, issue

  cabal update
  cabal install --reinstall --force-reinstalls seqaid

which reinstalls the latest deepseq-bounded in passing. And also
if you were to run "seqaid demo" it will use the updated version
of leaky, so everything's up to date.

The homepage for these projects starts at

  http://www.fremissant.net/deepseq-bounded-seqaid-leaky.html

Kind Regards,
Andrew

Finally, in case the lack of constraints on dependencies put anyone off,
please note that all deps in all three projects now have minimum and
maximum bounds.

Also, I should take this chance to note that there were no cache controls
in the homepages linked above, so please force reloads in your browser to
see latest versions. (The pages /now/ have caching prevention so this
should not be necessary again.)

And, it's nice to share your thoughts, don't you think?

ANN: deepseq-bounded, seqaid, leaky

2014-12-19 Thread Andrew Seniuk
This trio of related packages explores strictness control in a variety of
ways.

deepseq-bounded provides classes and generic functions to artificially
force evaluation, to extents controlled by static or dynamic configuration.

seqaid puts that into practise, providing a GHC plugin to auto-instrument
your package with a strictness harness, which is dynamically optimisable
during runtime.  This is supported directly in the GHC compilation
pipeline, without requiring (or performing!) any edits to your sources.

leaky is a minimal, prototypic executable that leaks space under current
state-of-the-art compilation (GHC 7.8.3 -O2, at the present time).

Reddit discussion for the three together:

http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2ps8f5/ann_deepseqbounded_seqaid_leaky/

Easiest way to try them all, is to install seqaid and run the demo:

  cabal install seqaid
  seqaid demo

This tests seqaid on a local copy of the leaky source package.

It turned out to be routine to extend deepseq-bounded and seqaid to
dynamically configurable parallelisation (paraid?).  Many other wrappers
could be explored, too!  Maybe seqaid should be renamed to koolaid or
something...

It's a pretty complicated system, and just first release, so there's bound
to be lots of problems.  I've not set up a bug tracker, but will maintain a
casual list of bugs and feature requests at

  http://www.fremissant.net/seqaid/trac

and will set up a proper tracker if there's interest.

Any isssues (or comments), I'm here, or on the reddit discussion (or email).
