Bazaar

produce memory overhead in bazaaar

Asked by lukas

Hi there,

my name is Lukas and i am working on optimizations for pypy. Pypy is a python interpreter written in python itself and aims to simplify, improve and speed-up python interpretation. For my master's thesis I am writing several benchmarks based on real programs that use a lot of memory. Thus I'm hoping to find out which datatypes produce the most overhead so I can extend the pypy interpreter and jit by implementing additional datatypes that are optimized for their purpose (for example a list containing integers only).

I think that your program could be a candidate for benchmarking because it seems to eat a lot of memory. But since I am new to bazaar it is hard for me to tell and produce a situation where it uses the most memory. So I wanted to ask you, if you could tell me a scenario that is worth looking at and how I can reproduce it.

If you want to know more about this project have a look at http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-for-benchmarks.html

Regards,

Lukas

The mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/bazaar) will far more appropriate for this kind of discussion, bzr uses some extensions to address this kind of issues but more support from python will be hugely appreciated :)

Can you help with this problem?
