I am sorry, can't help you there. I was unable to crash it. I just did some testing on a MBPro dual core 2.2Ghz with Debian Lenny and OSX 10.6. Was able to compile and run it flawlessly on both machines. I tested the following two things: - nbody benchmark (n=1.000.000) http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/program.php?test=nbody&lang=pypy&id=1 - Andrew Dalke's Ring Benchmark (100.000 tasklets) http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2009/11/15/100000_tasklets.html The results are measured with 'time <bench>': Nbody = 44,910sec Nbody w/Psyco = 9,184sec Ring = 0,596sec Ring w/Psyco = 1,524sec So, not only was I able to run it, it actually improves the performance, at least for the nbody benchmark. The ring benchmark, which relies heavily on soft-switching shows a performance degradation. When i wrap the main loop of NBody in a tasklet, Psyco.full() is unable to automatically optimize it and i have to specifically bind Psyco to that object. I am not sure if this is expected behavior. I am really looking forward to 64bit support and better switching support!
