Hi Daniel and other thanks for the feedback the old simulation that took 13mins now only takes 2mins. I included a bunch of tweaking options. Someone needs to have a considerable knowledge in the circuit they are simulating and circuit simulator to be able tweak these. I am not that guy though all the tweak strategy are based on a bunch of papers I have been reading lately and blindly implements them. thanks again for the feedback. The new code is still not very haskelly but its a lot more useful now. http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/fernan/escomma/ -- http://www.fernski.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
[Haskell-cafe] Hugs used in circuit simulations code
Hi all thanks to everyone that reviewed my code. The good news 1. I happy to say that it has become useful enough for me to use it in some matlab type caluculations. includes transient and dc op 2. The simple pivtoing code I added into the DSP Lu appears to be useable for this application. The bad news 1. If you dont use some strategy in simplifying circuits and use the simulator only, it would take a considerable amount of time to converge. A simple 10x10 non linear matrix will take 13 minutes. In a high-end circuit simulator this would have taken less than a second. What is everybodies expereience in speed difference between C and interpreted haskell? I am hoping to achieve at least 10x an equivalent C code. So if a 10x10 matrix takes 1 second for C I want it to take 10seconds for hugs. regards fernan -- http://www.fernski.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I am hoping to achieve at least 10x an equivalent C code. Then you should definitely *not* run interpreted code, but compile it. With compiled code, I usually have a factor of less than 10, mostly 2-4, sometimes even better. But some things take longer in Haskell. So if a 10x10 matrix takes 1 second for C I want it to take 10seconds for hugs. Execution speed is not one of hugs' strongest points, so I'd be surprised. I recommend you get a GHC. regards fernan Cheers, Daniel ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Hugs is slower than GHCi, which is around 30x slower on average than GHC, (measured a couple of years ago). Please use ghc -O2 if you care about performance! -- Don ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
