I would be interested in implementing such thing myself as an addon for GHC and doing some benchmarks. Could you maybe: - Give me some hints where to start in GHC? I never really have worked on GHC so far. - Suggest some good benchmark code? I am mostly interesting in how this performs in huge real-world applications, so having some toy benchmark problems would be nice but some more huge benchmark problems would be better. Best would be some pool of both small and big benchmark programs.
Hi Albert There isn't much value to automatic memoization as people have already pointed out on SO - if you believe otherwise, you're probably better off proving a case on paper first before attempting to implement it in GHC. Best wishes Stephen
