I have posted previous knucleotide program, it is fast on 64 bit but
very slow on 32 bit.
I cannot install 32 bit ghc to test it so I can only guess is that
cause is use of Int64 for hash and HashMap array indexing.
What bothers me is that it that much slower , and I guess
that array indexing of 64 bit int where native index is 32 bit
is culprit.
Am I right? If I make Int index of array it will be fast on
32 bit platform too?
I cannot imagine that hashing to 64 bit int is culprit rather
array indexing as I guess that every array access
requires indirect access on 32 bit platform?
64 bit :
19.80 secs
32 bit:
91.01 secs ;(
I really like Haskell, but Im frustrated as how inpredictable it is.
Im programming from 1983' but found Haskell as much more difficult
to program efficiently than C++.
In C++ whatever lousy program I write it performs decently,
but not so in Haskell. It requires much deeper knowledge than
c++.
