#14981: GHC parallel GC is not doing well on modern many-core machine -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: varosi | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jberryman): I only spent a few minutes looking at the eventlog in threadscope, but the thing that looked instantly fishy to me was that it looks like we stop the world at every minor GC (there are only a dozen collections of gen 1). Another thing to observe is that it looks like the spark creation is healthy, and all work is sparked within the first third or so of program execution (i.e. those little pauses aren't yields because no work is ready to be done, which is what I thought might be happening at first glance. Supposedly RTS flags used were: `-N -A15m -qb0 -qn8`.
