#8578: Improvements to SpinLock implementation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: parcs | Owner: parcs Type: task | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by parcs): According to a C microbenchmark, the new spinlock code is much more scalable than the old code. However, this scalability improvement remains to be seen in a GHC program. Is there a program one can test that is particularly sensitive to the scalability of the RTS's spinlocks? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8578#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
