#3553: parallel gc suffers badly if one thread is descheduled -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: simonmar | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.12.2 Component: Runtime System | Version: 6.10.4 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): Interesting - I hadn't realised that the main thread being bound could affect the performance of ordinary parallel programs too. I'm very tempted to change the main thread to be non-bound. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3553#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
