Set by moderator on 27 April 2010.
bacek Because original commit is lost. 00:00
chromatic True.
bacek Basically, "V" in "SVN" is almost lie. It's just set of snapshots... 00:01
chromatic That's because it tracks the wrong thing.
bacek Indeed.
chromatic What are you working on next? 00:03
bacek chromatic, nothing yet.
chromatic We should work on the sweep-free GC at some point.
On the PerformanceImprovements page, fixing vtable overrides is pretty easy.
bacek I'm thinking about GMS now. Just have to wrap my head around. 00:04
chromatic I don't think we need to go that far yet.
Whiteknight chromatic: I'm still not sure I understand your suggestions for improving vtable overrides
chromatic It's pretty easy.
We know when a class has a vtable override. 00:05
We know which vtable gets overridden.
bacek chromatic, I would like to see faster GC. And GMS is easy choice. (No compacting just yet)
chromatic I want to see GMS too, but I think that's a bigger project than sweep-free.
bacek About 300-500 lines of code. 00:06
chromatic Whiteknight, when a class gets a vtable override, we clone its existing vtable, then swap in a new function pointer that redispatches to the appropriate PIR override.
Whiteknight ah, that idea. I was thinking of something different
In that case, we're going to end up allocating a lot more vtable structures 00:07
chromatic Pick your poison: a few dozen more vtables or 5-6% of Rakudo runtime. 00:08

tracwiki: Remove "immutable strings" from list.

chromatic bacek, if you can do it in 500 lines of non-invasive code, so much the better.
I'm really curious to see how for plobsing can get with constant string coalescing in PBC.
s/for/far/ 00:09
bacek chromatic, with using idea of "write barrier vtable" from SPJ it's doable in 500 lines.
chromatic Is that easy to describe on the wiki?
bacek it's easy to read whole paper. 00:10
chromatic I mean the plan for Parrot, not the paper.
bacek Ah. Yes.
Whiteknight chromatic: 1) we need to make vtables smaller, 2) We need to change the way they are allocated (not as a long linear array) 00:11
plobsing chromatic: the branch works except for :immediate :anon magic subs 00:12
Whiteknight Also, I wonder if there would be performance benefits for Rakudo to stop using vtable overrides entirely and just using method calls
method calls are already cached, use the same PCC mechanism, don't recurse into a new runcore, etc 00:13
chromatic That sounds like an argument against using core PMCs at all. 00:14
... or at least extending them, or writing HLL mapped versions in PIR.
plobsing, what happens with the magic subs? 00:15
plobsing IMCC modifies the constant *after* adding it to the packfile but before serializing the packfile 00:24

chromatic That means someone (read, "probably me") has to dive into IMCC? 00:25
plobsing I have a workaround that is almost up and running
although the magic subs don't get the optimization 00:26
chromatic We should be able to reenable the optimization. 00:27
plobsing if and when it becomes in the right order, it will automatically get the optimization 00:28
it's a simple matter of "string not found" ATM

bacek chromatic, do you have any written stuff for "sweep-free GC"? 01:45
Andy hey bacek 01:46
bacek Aloha Andy 01:47
Andy so much consting done
so much more to do
chromatic There's a page on the wiki for it, bacek. I don't remember the name.
bacek chromatic, found it
Andy, "job security"!!! :)
chromatic, looks like tri-colour mark. 01:51
chromatic Yeah, it's similar. 01:58
01:59 Psyche^ joined
bacek why do we need FRESH list? 01:59
Let's just put new PMCs into MAYBE list.
chromatic The idea is to use a list as the youngest generation. 02:01
bacek but then we just merge it into MAYBE list 02:02
chromatic After a full mark, we know that nothing on that list is alive. 02:03
bacek On MAYBE? Yes. On FRESH? Not sure.
chromatic If we detach FRESH at the start of a GC run, so any GCables allocated after that point go on a new FRESH, we do. 02:04
bacek We don't allocate new GCable during mark. 02:05
chromatic Hopefully.
purl i heard hopefully was lightweight.
chromatic And only because we stop the world.
bacek It's true. 02:06
Yeah, it make sense in "non-stop" world.
chromatic I'm trying to drag the current GC kicking and screaming into a concurrent world. 02:07
bacek chromatic, it easier to kill it...
chromatic Right, but we have to replace it first.
bacek Oookey. I'll look at it close tonight. 02:11
It will be a good step forward for GMS anyway
chromatic It's not the best GC in the world, but it's an achievable step right now that should get us 10% performance. 02:13
bacek I'm not sure about 10%... But it should be faster. 02:14
Do you have any benchmarks that I can use? 02:15
sorear chromatic: Didn't you just add a mark-time STRING header allocation? 02:21
chromatic Yep. 02:35

sorear Is it a bug that 'realclean' doesn't remove all built files? 03:37
plobsing sorear: which files exactly? 03:44
sorear extra_thunks and json something 03:45
plobsing hmmm... yeah, that's a bug, and those are both things I've touched recently 03:46
sorear hmm
the parrot-installer seems to be trying to install executables with 'cp'
plobsing sorear: I just ran a 'make; make realclean' and I cannot find any files with names containing 'extra_thunks' or 'json' that look like they don't belong 03:57
darbelo plobsing: svn st --no-ignore 04:01
We have some too-wide ignores. 04:02
plobsing darbelo: I used "ack -f -G extra_thunks"
darbelo If I do a make realclean && svn st --no-ignore I get
I runtime/parrot/languages/data_json
I src/extra_nci_thunks.c
... and some editor backup files that I never removed. 04:03
plobsing ah! so many files I never cleaned!
darbelo Heh, they do tend to pile up. 04:09
They are like hairy yaks in that way. 04:10
plobsing yeah I now see the cost of my use of patches as a wish-it-were-git substitute
sorear this is bizarre 04:12
running the codestring branch, rakudo compiled in similar time to trunk 04:13
including the setting
darbelo setting? 04:14
purl well, setting is a bit of a put-off, though.
sorear but when it got to generating Test.pir? it's currently using all but 4MB of my memory
and has been for several minutes
you'd think it would have run out bby now; 4MB doesn't usually last long 04:15
darbelo What are you using to monitor mem usage? 04:16
sorear darbelo: Perl6 standard library. Several thousand lines of a nd a huge stress test FOR Parrot's memory manage 04:18
darbelo: 'free'
cross-checked with system responsiveness
notice the lack of typo correction in the last few lines :/ 04:19
darbelo My guess is that it needed that much at some point, then it didn't and now it has a big-ass free pool to use.
A smart gc would probably free() that stuff back to the OS at some point. 04:21
But I will not accuse our gc of being smart enough to do anything.
I learn from the past.
I also saw the commit message fro chromatic's commit to that branch. 04:22
sorear Our gc does free stuff back to the OS; I've seen it happen 04:23
after grinding for half an hour it then segfaulted 04:25
darbelo Sure it does, but from what pool and under what conditions? I don't know, and I'm not going to assume correctnes without reading the code.
sorear in String.set_string_native 04:26
darbelo I would dig up as much info as I can on that and msg Coke with it. 04:27
bacek GC release stuff back to OS at least from string pools 04:28
sorear meanwhile, gdb has forgotten how to turn addresses back into function names, so getting a working backtrace will be Hard 04:29
darbelo String storage is compacted, headers aren't. Even if most of the header pool is empty it has to keep the memory. 04:30
bacek OTOH, I suspect compact_pool vs CodeString "miscommunication". New compact_pool is less precise than before. And CodeString in branch create much more long-lived Strings.
sorear I'm running codestring branch, not trunk 04:31
darbelo CodeString now concats stuff during mark() too. So that the substrings can get collected in the next sweep. That might explain a big jump on memory usage, followed by a decrease.
sorear so I don't think I've seen the compact_pool merge
bacek it was merged into trunk recently. 04:32
r46077 on 27th of April 04:33
darbelo Speaking of bleeding^Wmerges...
sorear Who is --ANR?
bacek: merged into trunk. not, merged into codestring
unless it was merged
bacek sorear, "Allison N. Randal" 04:34
sorear, I think codestring was branched after merge
sorear wonders if there's a svn way to find out if a given individual change has been merged into a given branch
bacek not in svn I think
darbelo diff? 04:35

purl Erm, is it
sorear That patch defeats CodeString's reason for existing
bacek sorear, nopasted patch for CodeString. I hope it will "improve" memory usage in rakudo
sorear, it is not. Main reason is to avoid subsequent calls to str_concat afaiu 05:39
sorear but... with your patch, every push is an immediate concat 05:40
bacek no, every .emit is 05:41
But usually C<fmt> will contain a set of %args to replace.

darbelo Do we have (or had), by any chance any Chinese or Japanese contributors? 05:46
bacek darbelo, JimmyZ just joined :)
JimmyZ \\o
What can I help you? darbelo? 05:47
bacek JimmyZ, s/What/How/ :)
JimmyZ oh
How
Then how can I help you? darbelo?
darbelo I have a question about Asian character sets.
bacek JimmyZ, no worries. My son has started to correct my English already :) 05:48
JimmyZ darbelo: go on
darbelo I'm looking at some of the Unicode stuff and my head is starting to spin. 05:49
First off, how 'big' is the character set.
JimmyZ What does 'big' mean? 05:51
Do you mean how many characters is? 05:52
darbelo Number of 'characters' available, and stored in how many bits.
sorear bacek: I have a radical idea. Let's kill the lazy concatenation engine and just use ResizableByteArray 05:54
Note that PIR is a binary file format to begin with
(since it has to assign encodings to each substring)
bacek sorear, StringBuilder is on todo list :)
sorear darbelo: We're not just going to use UTF-16 for CJK? 05:55
JimmyZ darbelo: 0x4E00-0x9FBB 05:56
darbelo: Does it answer your question?
it's unicode
darbelo JimmyZ: Kind of. I'm not getting a clear picture of what gets considered a "character", but maybe it's just that I'm trying to map it too closely to an alphabet. 05:58
sorear CJK characters are twice the area of Roman characters and require ~twice as many bits to represent
JimmyZ darbelo: I'm not quite follow it. I think you can ask Timdoady about Japanese 06:00
darbelo: or masak 06:01
sorear Do you have any questions amenable to general addressing? 06:04
darbelo I have a general lack of knowledge about the languages involved, It's not a technical matter at all. 06:10
sorear ok
asians write in monospace - you can lower a grid over their text and it looks neat
1 character ~= 1 box
asians here != the geographic region 06:11
darbelo That I got. But I've seen what looks like two distinct characters squished into one box.
sorear That's one character
I'm no expert and can't explain quite how it happens 06:12
often, but not always, the meaning of a character with >1 component is similar to the composition of the parts
but it's still treated as one character for grammatical (and encoding) purposes 06:13
spinclad or one part suggests, or used to suggest, the sound of the whole
sorear also, remember that lumping does not mean abstraction
spinclad in chinese, one character = one syllable = (more or less) one word 06:14
sorear there are important historical differences between the usage of "asian characters" between languages
Japanese and Korean have both incompletely adopted phonetic alphabets
there's a greater gulf better written and spoken forms in some areas 06:15
etc.
darbelo So, the two squished things are one character (and hence one syllable) with a meaning different to the (two sylables) word that is formed by unsquising the things an placing them next to each other.
sorear there are something on the order of 100,000 known characters, but their usage is not at all uniformly distributed 06:16
the Japanese journalism industry has a list of the kanji that educated people are expected to understand without definition. It only has 2,000 06:17
the practical upshot of this is that, unless you want to invent a 12-bit encoding of your own, UTF-16 is close to optimal
spinclad yes, the parts are called radicals; there are about 100 of them.
sorear non-BMP Han characters are quite rare 06:18
spinclad but it's the whole character that maps to a syllable/word
sorear from a purely data processing perspective, there's very little reason to use a DBCS encoding
Right now, all of our charsets are (improper) subsets of Unicode 06:20
I *strongly* recommend keeping this
running some character sets off EBCDIC, others off Unicode, and others of JIS X 0213 would be pure insanity 06:21
it's ok to have an EBCDIC or EUC-JP *encoding*, but if you ask what a character's ordinal is, the results should be coherent between strings 06:22
darbelo sorear: FWIW, it was a question out of idle curiosity, I'm not going to go off implementing 12-bit-densely-packed-hangul. 06:24
Nor EBCDIC, for taht matter.
It's just that the more I read on the subject of encoding asian languages the more of a mess it starts to seem. 06:26
sorear Hangul are a different kettle of fish altogether. 06:27
And yes, encoding matters are always a mess. 06:28
Luckily, it looks like the mess is starting to abide
Non-UTF encodings are dying, by 2020 there will probably be less than 10 important encodings 06:29
06:33 parthm left
darbelo Honestly, from a purely pragmatical standpoint, and spoken withthe utmost respect to the culture that originated it: Any language that has a word for stuff like "the appearance of a dragon in flight" is optimizing for the wrong thing. 06:36
cotto You could make up a German word for that. 06:37
darbelo Can I reduce that to a single letter?
sorear Why is "whey" shorter than "interpreter"? Lousy huffman coding knows no borders 06:40
darbelo finds the only word he can think of at 3:45am is "sleep" 06:43
07:03 JimmyZ joined
cotto For most of human history the interpreter was the guy who let you talk to people of a different language. 07:20
Clearly that's not something that needs to be optimized for. ;)

plobsing string PMC has a .lower() method for downcasing but no equivalent method for upcasing. 20:35
Should it lose the method (we have other ways of doing this, HLLs can do this on their own) or do we add an .upper() method for consistency?
darbelo What HLLs would break if you remove it? 20:40
Whiteknight I say trash it 20:41
plobsing do any HLLs work against trunk ATM?
darbelo Good point.
Break 'em all. 20:42
chromatic By "Trash" you mean "Add to DEPRECATED.pod" of course.
moritz rakudo does, kindof
it's just horribly slow to compile, and eats lots of memory 20:43
didn't we have that before?
darbelo So, it's back to normal ;)
