I'm experimenting with STM (in CAL[1] rather than Haskell) and want to run the STAMP[2] benchmarks.
Hmm, I don'tknow of a particularly good STM-in-Haskell benchmark, but I'd say that the STAMP benchmarks are written in a rather imperative, object-oriented style. You wouldn't get very meaningful data about anything if you were to naively translate them to Haskell; you'd instead have to rewrite them completely (at which point head-to-head comparisons are difficult).
Is there a Haskell translation available, or can anyone suggest a better/different benchmark suite for STM?
Good question. Because we tend to eschew mutable state in Haskell, I'd expect the characteristics of such an application to be *very* different. -Jan-Willem Maessen
