I'm playing around with Netflix, implementing a simple KNN-algorithm, I will later try SVD which seems to be the most successful approach.

Using a database like Postgresqk is to slow so I want to serialize a datastructure containing the ratings. I'm not sure about the
representation I will use just yet, if I should use multiple arrays or an Map/IntMap.

However I tried Data.Binary and already for small sizes I get stack overflow when deserializing.
The serializing works fine but when bringing it back it overflows.
How can I solve this? This is just 2MB, I will eventually need soemthing like 2-500MB to store everything depending on what representatin I choose.

module Serialize where
import qualified Data.Binary as B
import qualified Data.Binary.Put as P
import qualified Data.Map as M
import qualified Data.List as L

genTest :: Int -> M.Map (Int,Int) Int
genTest n = let movies = take n $ repeat 1
                grades = take n $ repeat 4 in
            M.fromList $ ([1..n] `zip` movies) `zip` grades

main = do
let a = genTest 50000
B.encodeFile "C:/users/saftarn/desktop/bintest.txt" a
print "Success"

dec = B.decodeFile "C:/users/saftarn/desktop/bintest.txt" >>= \a ->
      return $ (a :: M.Map (Int,Int) Int)
