Hello, I am putting together a student proposal to participate in Google's Summer of Code with one of the following project ideas. Parallel programming benchmarking and benchmark suite - http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1544 Are there open source projects and real world applications that rely on GHC's parrallel programming primitives and libraries? I have found many references to LOLITA, but it seems to be old and not available online. The idea page suggests porting existing benchmark suites such as PARSEC, but PARSEC is 5G of C code. Most of it seems to come from existing applications already written in C. It might also be interesting to automate the discovery of optimal strategies through empirical data, and to modify the thresholds dynamically. Parallel profiling tools for GHC - http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1559 Simon Marlow wrote on the idea page that Gransim was ported to a more up-to-date GHC. The documentation available on the web seems to be for GHC 0.29 but it describes many options for logging and visualising the activity of threads and processors over time. Getting GHC to display that information on the frontpanel would make a nice project. Do you have any comments or suggestions? Thank you, Etienne Laurin
