Re: References for GHC usage of multiple capabilities

There's also "Mio: A High-Performance Multicore IO Manager for GHC" http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hask035-voellmy.pdf On 12/7/18, Artem Pelenitsyn wrote:

Thanks for heads up, Ben! This is useful stuff to take into account. I also wonder how is this list (mine ++ yours) is relevant to what GHC actually has these days. But maybe that's harder to answer quickly.

Hello devs,

I've been working on a short survey devoted to a topic of multithreading inside the GHC compiler and runtime. So far I was mostly looking at the following three papers

[1] P. W. Trinder, K. Hammond, J. S. Mattson, Jr., A. S. Partridge, and S. L. Peyton Jones. Gum: A portable parallel implementation of Haskell. PLDI ’96

[2] Tim Harris, Simon Marlow, and Simon Peyton Jones. Haskell on a shared-memory multiprocessor. Haskell ’05

[3] Simon Marlow, Simon Peyton Jones, and Satnam Singh. Runtime support for multicore Haskell. ICFP ’09

Can you suggest any other papers adding insights on how GHC uses multiple capabilities for anything from GC to the implementation of Parallel/Concurrent Haskell? Perhaps, something more recent than the above, but preferably published in academic venues.

Here are a few others but I may have missed a few:

* Parallel Generational-Copying Garbage Collection with a Block-Structured Heap (Simon Marlow, Tim Harris, Roshan P. James, Simon Peyton Jones) In ISMM '08: Proceedings of the 7th international symposium on Memory management, Tucson, Arizona, ACM, June 2008 * Concurrent Haskell, Simon Peyton Jones, Andrew Gordon, Sigbjorn Finne. * Composable Memory Transactions, Tim Harris, Simon Marlow, Simon Peyton-Jones, and Maurice Herlihy. In Proceedings of the tenth ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Principles and practice of parallel programming (PPoPP '05) * Transactional Memory with Data Invariants, Tim Harris and Simon Peyton Jones. In TRANSACT '06

Cheers,
