Re: [Haskell-cafe] Killer pickler combinators (was Time leak)

I still get timeouts with 5k threads. Not as often as with 1k before, though. On Dec 21, 2005, at 3:35 AM, Donald Bruce Stewart wrote:

It looks like with the 1000s of threads that get run, the problem is just getting enough cpu time for each thread. All the solutions that appear to work involve some kind of blocking (on Handles, MVars, ffi calls), allowing the scheduler to switch.

So why don't we just increase the scheduler switch rate ourselves?

Using +RTS -C -RTS we can convince the rts to switch on every alloc, and with 4000 threads running this seems to remove the timeout alerts, and give all threads enough time to get things done.
