RE: [Haskell-cafe] Glasgow Distributed Haskell

GdH is maintained and distributed by Phil Trinder and his colleagues at Heriot Watt. I think it's still alive, but it's based on a much earlier version of GHC. If it's parallelism you're after, GHC (as distributed) runs on shared-memory multi-processors. But we don't have anything like GdH or

[Haskell-cafe] Announce: Package rdtsc for reading IA-32 time stamp counters

2007-01-02 Thread Martin Grabmueller
Hallo all, version 1.0 of package rdtsc has just been released. This small package contains one module called 'Rdtsc.Rdtsc'. This module provides the function 'rdtsc' for accessing the 'rdtsc' machine register on modern IA-32 processors. This is a 64-bit counter which counts the number of proce

The very nice Buckwalter and Denney dimensional-numbers packages both work on a fixed set of base dimensions. This is a significant restriction for me--I want to avoid adding apples to oranges as well as avoiding adding meters to grams. Is it possible to have an extensible set of base dimensions
