inline assembly a la gcc
by Piyush P Kurur 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Is there a way in which I can interface GHC with assembly language ? Of course I can create a stub C function which using inline assembly, compile it with GCC, and crankin the FFI of GHC. But is there a more direct way ? I would like to try coding, (or steal from some open source implementation) up some crypto hash functions in assembly and compare it with a direct GHC implementation. I will be happy if there is a way of avoiding assembly all together and work with GHC internals like Int# etc. which gives me almost assembly speed. Regards ppk

Announcing Haskell 2010
by Simon Marlow 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

I'm very proud to announce a new revision of the Haskell language, Haskell 2010. Over the last couple of months the committee has been making final decisions about which extensions should be a part of this revision. The final list is: DoAndIfThenElse HierarchicalModules EmptyDataDeclarations FixityResolution ForeignFunctionInterface LineCommentSyntax PatternGuards RelaxedDependencyAnalysis LanguagePragma NoNPlusKPatterns You can read more about each one, including rationale for and against, on its relevant wiki page, which are linked from the tickets: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/query?status=new&status=assig… Haskell 2010 is a small but significant step on the road that was started by the Haskell' committee 4 years ago, The process has not been a smooth one, and there have been several changes of direction, but the current process is actually producing concrete results that let us move the language forward in positive steps, so I feel we're on the right track. We all owe the current committee a big thank-you for sticking with the process this long: most of them didn't realise the magnitude of what they were signing up for at the beginning. The short list of changes above tells only a small part of the story, there is a wealth of wiki content and mailing-list discussion that future language revisions can draw on. So what now? * We will produce a revised version of the Haskell language report incorporating these changes. That will happen over the next few months. * Compilers can start implementing the changes, and flags to select the Haskell 2010 revision. In GHC we expect to have support in the next major release, i.e. 6.14.1. * Right now, we will start forming a Haskell 2011 committee to mange the process of deciding on changes for next year's revision. The current committee is still discussing how to go about finding a new committee (the plan is to at least have open nominations) but I expect to be able to announce more details very soon. * Everyone can participate in the Haskell 2011 process, by discussing and refining proposals. Information about how to do that is on the Haskell Prime wiki: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki Remember: this is a community effort. The changes that get adopted in each revision are drawn from the pool of fully-specified proposals, and those proposals can be written by anyone. Thanks, Simon, on behalf of the Haskell 2010 committee

VSTTE 2010: Verified Software -- Second Call for Papers
by Gudmund Grov 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement) ***************************************************************** Third International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments Call for Conference & Workshop Papers Edinburgh, Scotland August 16th-19th, 2010 http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/vstte10 SPONSORS National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSRC Microsoft Research Scottish Informatics & Computer Science Alliance (SICSA) To become a sponsor see: http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/vstte10/Sponsors.html ****************************************************************** The Third International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural working conference at Zurich (2005) and a successful conference in Toronto (2008). This conference is part of the Verified Software Initiative (VSI), a fifteen-year, cooperative, international project directed at the scientific challenges of large-scale software verification. VSI also includes UKCRC's Grand Challenge 6, i.e. Dependable Systems Evolution. VSTTE is open to anyone who is interested in participating actively in the VSI effort. SCOPE The goal of this conference is to advance the state of the art in the science and technology of software verification through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation. Authors are encouraged to submit work in progress, particularly if the work involves collaboration, theory unification, and tool integration. Topics of interest include requirements modeling specification languages specification/verification case-studies formal calculi programming languages language semantics software design methods software testing automatic code generation refinement methodologies type systems computer security verification tools (static analysis, dynamic analysis, model checking, theorem proving, satisfiability) tool integration benchmarks challenge problems integrated verification environments We also encourage researchers to submit challenges in theory, formalization, systems verification, code verification, and applications. Contributions relating to existing challenges will also be welcomed, i.e. * POPLMark (http://tinyurl.com/poplmark) * Tokeneer (http://www.adacore.com/home/products/sparkpro/tokeneer) * POSIX file system (http://tinyurl.com/qyzqk9) * medical devices (http://tinyurl.com/pnztqb) VENUE VSTTE 2010 is being hosted by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. The conference dates coincide with the 2010 Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe -- collectively the largest annual arts festival on the planet! The technical programme will take place in the Edinburgh Conference Centre (Riccarton campus), where accommodation will be available at very competitive rates for festival time. Social events will be arranged within the city centre, making VSTTE an unique cultural and scholarly event for 2010! INVITED SPEAKERS * Tom Ball (Microsoft Research, Redmond) * Gerwin Klein (National ICT Australia) * Matthew Parkinson (University of Cambridge) SUBMISSIONS Submitted research papers and system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Research paper submissions are limited to 15 proceedings pages in LNCS format and must include a cogent and self-contained description of the ideas, methods and results, together with a comparison to existing work. System descriptions are also limited to 15 proceedings pages in LNCS format. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and experimental contributions are equally encouraged, including those that focus on specific problems or problem domains. Papers can be submitted at https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=vstte10. Submissions that arrive late, are not in the proper format, or are too long will not be considered. The proceedings of VSTTE 2010 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to Springer-Verlag. The use of LaTeX and the Springer llncs class files, obtainable from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html , is strongly encouraged.

ANN: GPipe-1.1.0 with greatly improved performance
by Tobias Bexelius 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hi, GPipe 1.1.0 is now available on Hackage. This update includes the following: * BIG performance increase: The previous shader cache keys grew exponential in size in relation to the GPipe program. This is now fixed with a completely new shader generator so the cache key sizes are linear relative to the program. In addition, the cache now uses patricia trees instead of an ordinary map, which will be a big performance win in programs with many shaders. In the simple example on http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GPipe I got an performance increase of factor 2.7(!), and expect it to be even larger for more complex programs. * Other minor fixes: Fixed so min, max, abs and sign no longer works on Vertex Int and Fragment Int types, since its not supported in GLSL 1.20. Reexport of Vec-Boolean instances so you dont need to import that package on its own any more. Added IfB instances for the associated type Color.

ANNOUNCE: Haskell Communities and Activities Report (17th ed., November 2009)
by voigt＠tcs.inf.tu-dresden.de 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

On behalf of the many, many contributors, I am pleased to announce that the Haskell Communities and Activities Report (17th edition, November 2009) http://www.haskell.org/communities/ is now available from the Haskell Communities home page in PDF and HTML formats. Many thanks go to all the people that contributed to this report, both directly, by sending in descriptions, and indirectly, by doing all the interesting things that are reported. I hope you will find it as interesting a read as I did. If you have not encountered the Haskell Communities and Activities Reports before, you may like to know that the first of these reports was published in November 2001. Their goal is to improve the communication between the increasingly diverse groups, projects, and individuals working on, with, or inspired by Haskell. The idea behind these reports is simple: Every six months, a call goes out to all of you enjoying Haskell to contribute brief summaries of your own area of work. Many of you respond (eagerly, unprompted, and sometimes in time for the actual deadline ;-) to the call. The editor collects all the contributions into a single report and feeds that back to the community. When I try for the next update, six months from now, you might want to report on your own work, project, research area or group as well. So, please put the following into your diaries now: ---------------------------------------- End of April 2010: target deadline for contributions to the May 2010 edition of the HC&A Report ---------------------------------------- Unfortunately, many Haskellers working on interesting projects are so busy with their work that they seem to have lost the time to follow the Haskell related mailing lists and newsgroups, and have trouble even finding time to report on their work. If you are a member, user or friend of a project so burdened, please find someone willing to make time to report and ask them to "register" with the editor for a simple e-mail reminder in October (you could point me to them as well, and I can then politely ask if they want to contribute, but it might work better if you do the initial asking). Of course, they will still have to find the ten to fifteen minutes to draw up their report, but maybe we can increase our coverage of all that is going on in the community. Feel free to circulate this announcement further in order to reach people who might otherwise not see it. Enjoy! Janis Voigtlaender <hcar at haskell.org>

TFP 2010 - Call for Papers
by TFP 2010 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

TFP 2010: 11th SYMPOSIUM ON TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING May 17-19, 2010 University of Oklahoma http://www.cs.ou.edu/tfp2010/ The Program Committee for TFP 2010 seeks papers on trends in functional programming. The symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results. TFP considers both full papers and extended abstracts for presentation at the symposium. A formal refereeing process after the symposium selects the best presentations for publication in a high-profile volume. IMPORTANT DATES * Apr 2: Submission of papers and abstracts * Apr 14: Notification of acceptance * May 7: Camera-ready, full papers for draft proceedings * May 17-19: TFP Symposium SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM Articles must be original and not submitted to any other forum for publication. They may consider any aspect of functional programming. Theory, implementation, experience, applications, and the use of functional programming methods in other languages all lie within the scope of the symposium. Articles may fall in any of the following categories: * Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research * Position: advocating or critiquing new trends * Project: descriptions of new or recently initiated projects * Evaluation: lessons drawn from completed projects * Overview: summaries of trendy work A list of suggested topics and other details concerning submissions can be found on the symposium website: http://www.cs.ou.edu/tfp2010/call.html#topics The suggested topics are extensive but by no means exhaustive. Please contact the program chair, Rex Page, tfp2010(a)cs.ou.edu, if you are in doubt about whether your topic is within the TFP scope. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD TFP traditionally pays special attention to research conducted by students, acknowledging that students commonly develop new subject trends. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Full papers (up to 15 pages) and extended abstracts (3 to 6 pages, to be expanded to full papers if accepted) submitted for presentation at the symposium are screened by the program committee. A draft proceedings available at the conference will contain all accepted papers and all accepted abstracts that have been expanded to full papers. Each submission must declare its category (research, position, project, evaluation, or overview). Authors who are students should so indicate when they submit their article. The Program Committee will provide extra feedback for student papers to help compensate for differences between students and other researchers in experience with the publication process. POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality volume containing the best papers from the symposium. All TFP authors will be invited to submit revised papers after the symposium. These will be refereed using normal conference standards, and the best papers will be selected for publication. Papers will be judged on their contributions with appropriate criteria applied to each category of paper.

For those interested, I've just released 0.2 -- no new features, but it's got a slightly cleaner API. Fewer modules, proper datetime types, and a few more documentation entries. And the innards are sane now. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1947532/gnome-keyring_0.2/index.html http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gnome-keyring
