This trio of related packages explores strictness control in a variety of ways. deepseq-bounded provides classes and generic functions to artificially force evaluation, to extents controlled by static or dynamic configuration. seqaid puts that into practise, providing a GHC plugin to auto-instrument your package with a strictness harness, which is dynamically optimisable during runtime. This is supported directly in the GHC compilation pipeline, without requiring (or performing!) any edits to your sources. leaky is a minimal, prototypic executable that leaks space under current state-of-the-art compilation (GHC 7.8.3 -O2, at the present time). deepseq-bounded hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq-bounded homepage: http://www.fremissant.net/deepseq-bounded seqaid hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/seqaid homepage: http://www.fremissant.net/seqaid leaky hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/leaky homepage: http://www.fremissant.net/leaky Reddit discussion for the three together: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2ps8f5/ann_deepseqbounded_seqaid_le... Easiest way to try them all, is to install seqaid and run the demo: cabal install seqaid seqaid demo This tests seqaid on a local copy of the leaky source package. It turned out to be routine to extend deepseq-bounded and seqaid to dynamically configurable parallelisation (paraid?). Many other wrappers could be explored, too! Maybe seqaid should be renamed to koolaid or something... It's a pretty complicated system, and just first release, so there's bound to be lots of problems. I've not set up a bug tracker, but will maintain a casual list of bugs and feature requests at http://www.fremissant.net/seqaid/trac and will set up a proper tracker if there's interest. Any isssues (or comments), I'm here, or on the reddit discussion (or email). Andrew Seniuk rasfar on #haskell
