Chris, would you like to submit these?
Well, I can't promise to; I have less time this week. I have two strong suggestions: * whoever does submit them should "diff" the output with a previously accepted version. * ensure that the file comments and submission description explain the exact command line to compile and the exact command line to run. And two weak suggestion: * For speed comparisons, use an x86 architecture, ghc-6.4.1. (I made sum-file faster for G4 but not faster in general). * The -funbox-strict-fields can make a difference without needing explicitly unboxed Int# everywhere. And one observation: The wiki has been linking to the debian version http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/ but there is also nearly the same set of programs on a gentoo version http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/ So statements about ranking are often only good for one version. Cheers, Chris
