<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Is anyone currently working in, or interested in helping with, a new benchmark suite for Haskell? Perhaps, packaging up existing apps and app benchmarks into a new benchmark suite that gives a broad picture of Haskell application performance today?</div><div><br></div><div>Background: We run nofib, and we run the shootout benchmarks. But when we want to evaluate basic changes to GHC optimizations or data representation, these really don't give us a full picture of whether a change is beneficial.</div><div><br></div><div>A few years ago, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/fibon">fibon</a> tried to gather some Hackage benchmarks. This may work even better with Stackage, where there are 180 benchmark suites among the 1770 packages currently.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, these days companies are building substantial apps in Hackage. Which substantial apps could or should go into a benchmark suite? I see <a href="http://www.infoq.com/news/2015/04/web-frameworks-benchmark-2015?utm_source=infoqEmail&utm_medium=WeeklyNL_EditorialContentOperationsInfrastructure&utm_campaign=04282015news" target="_blank">Warp and other web server benchmarks</a> all over the web. But is there a harness that can time some of this code while running inside a single-machine, easy-setup benchmark suite?</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div> -Ryan</div><div><br></div></div>
