#12181: Multi-threaded code on ARM64 GHC runtime doesn't use all available cores -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: varosi | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 7.10.3 System | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: arm | Type of failure: Runtime | performance bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is the machine: [http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/04/30/setup-guide-mini-review-of-bq- aquaris-m10-ubuntu-edition-tablet-from-a-developers-perspective/] Haskell ray-tracer that uses Control.Parallel.Strategies and parBuffer that is working well on x64 machine and using all the cores available use only 2 cores from 4 in total on that ARM machine. This machine usually work on two cores only and when it sees that they are used more - it enables two more to get total of four cores. If I give "+RTS -N4" it works just fine. So I think the problem is that the runtime doesn't check for all available cores, but only for enabled. In the first link you could see that "lscpu" returns 4 cores in total. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12181 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
