ANNOUNCE: ThreadScope 0.1
I've just released ThreadScope version 0.1 on Hackage. Threadscope is a graphical utility for viewing profiling information about Haskell threads. It was written jointly with Simon Marlow and Donnie Jones. It uses Gtk2HS so it works under Windows and the L-word operating system although there seem to be problems making it work with OS-X (due to Gtk2Hs issues I think). $ cabal install threadscope You may need to do cabal update to update your packages list. On Windows operating systems you may need to issue the command from a shell that is running with administrative privileges. Resources: * Web page: http://research.microsoft.com/threadscope * Parallel Performance Tuning for Haskellhttp://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=80976 (paper at Haskell Symposium 2009) Please let me know if you have any problems. Also, please do let us know about your experience with ThreadScope and in particular about accounts of how you used ThreadScope to shed light on parallel performance bugs. If I get enough feedback I may collate the responses into an experience report or paper for ICFP or the Haskell Symposium. Thank you kindly. Enjoy!

This is great news! ThreadScope was very useful when I was debugging threading issues in the new I/O manager [1] Bryan and I have been working on. I managed to get it to work on OS X after building gtk2hs from source. Once I got it to build the only problem I had is that it crashes when I try to save to an image file.

Johan,
Thanks for the (mostly) positive news about ThreadScope on Mac OS-X: that's great news. I plan to add a few more Save As... image options in ThreadScope 0.2 plus the ability to turn transparency on/off for PNG files. So hopefully one of the Save As formats might work. I don't think it is a bug in ThreadScope (although I will double check) - it is probably the port of Gth2Hs (but let me check before I say anything too slanderous). Now, how on earth do I track down a Mac OS-X machine at Microsoft ??!??!?!? :)
Cheers,
Satnam

To install on ghc-6.12.1 I had to modify the .cabal to accept containers
package version 0.3 (I already had the gtk2hs installed). It works fine at
first glance, will use it more.
- containers >= 0.2 && < 0.3
+ containers >= 0.2 && < 0.4
Cheers,
Thomas

You may need to do cabal update to update your packages list. On Windows operating systems you may need to issue the command from a shell that is running with administrative privileges.
