Hi, I have tried to implement knucleotide benchmark program this time:http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/performance.php?test=knucleotid... Implementation is shorter (uses hashtable from hashtables package),but two time slower then current Haskell entry ( which is too low levelfor my taste :)).What is interesting is that if I try to place Int64 as a key tohash table, performance is even slower.Strange that dropping and taking from bytestring would befaster than packing string in 64 bit int and directly indexing. If someone can see something that can bring performance on parwith current haskell entry , I would post it , otherwise no point,except that program is shorter and not low level. {-# Language BangPatterns #-}---- The Computer Language Benchmarks Game-- http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/---- Contributed by Branimir Maksimovic--import Data.Charimport Data.Listimport Data.IORefimport qualified Data.HashTable.IO as Himport qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as Simport Control.Concurrentimport Text.Printf main = do s <- S.getContents let content = (S.map toUpper .
