#2868: `par` `pseq` does not work as expected
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: hoangta | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Runtime System
Version: 6.10.1 | Severity: major
Keywords: par, pseq, parallel | Testcase:
Os: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
The following Wombat program is from "A Tutorial on Parallel and
Concurrent Programming in Haskell". It does not work as expected on my
computer (Core(TM)2 Quad CPU). Only one core is used when I watch by
"mpstat -P ALL 1 200". I compile and run by:
ghc --make -threaded wombat.hs
./wombat +RTS -N4
and the result is:
par sum: 119201850
par time: 20.932636 seconds.
seq sum: 119201850
seq time: 20.926783 seconds.
Please check if is is a bug.
