[Haskell-cafe] Parallel Haskell on an M2 Mac

[Harendra Kumar]

Hi Dennis,

For easy concurrent/parallel processing you may find the Haskell
library "streamly" to be helpful. Please see the quick tutorial here:
https://streamly.composewell.com/streamly-0.9.0/User/Tutorials/quick-overview.html
. There are some concurrency/parallelism examples provided in this
tutorial. If you want to run some external programs concurrently and
process the output in a Haskell program you may also want to take a
look at the streamly-process package here:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/streamly-process .

In case you need further help on using the library, I can help you
out. I am a contributor to the library.

For example, I might map a function over a list, and each item's evaluation can run in parallel. On the M2 MacBook I have, there are 4 efficiency cores with 1 thread each, and 8 performance cores with 2 threads each. Is it fairly easy to use parallel Haskell to spread the task over these 20 possible threads? By any chance could I limit it to using the performance cores if that helps the speed?
