Hi Johan. I'm seeing much different numbers when I test for regressions.
Also 64-bit Linux.
Could you explain your method? Origin of the GHC/libraries you're
measuring and the options your running NoFib with? Thanks.
I'm using the 28 Jan ghc-7.6.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 and
ec9377b1e51fd59e18 (Wed Feb 6 14:10:39 2013 +0000) for HEAD.
Thanks.

The usual source of differences is -O vs. -O2, either for the benchmarks or for the libraries: you want GhcLibOpts=-O2 and NoFibHcOpts=-O2 in your mk/build.mk file.

Cheers,
        Simon

 
I figured Johan is doing O2 for libraries and programs. I have done libraries at O2, programs at O1, which likely does explain the difference.
 
I'm still in a holding pattern in case there's also some other setting he's using.
 
Then I'll run both variations on the programs.
 
Thanks much.

    I haven't had time to look through the regressions yet, so if
    someone has time, please grab a benchmark that looks bad and have a
    look at the Core to see what's going on. I suggest starting with
    "kahan", which is a relatively simple benchmark.
