poor man's benchmark :) http://github.com/nfjinjing/bench-euler
multi core aware, use bench-euler +RTS -N2 where 2 means 2 cores, and watch your cpu fries :) On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 7:24 AM, Andy Georges <andy.geor...@elis.ugent.be> wrote: > Hi Simon et al, > > > I've picked up the HaBench/nofib/nobench issue again, needing a decent set of > real applications to do some exploring of what people these days call > split-compilation.
