Lemmih: LHC - past, present and future

February 17, 2009 on 8:56 am | By ganesh | In | 3 Comments

Here’s the abstract for Friday’s talk:

GHC is the undisputed master of high-level Haskell optimizations. With its fine-tuned simplifier and user-programmable rewriting rules, GHC has shown that Haskell can be very competitive when it comes to performance. However, woefully little attention has been directed at low-level optimizations which are becoming more significant as high-level optimization opportunities become scarce.

This talk is about the LHC Haskell Compiler and how it attempts to bring another level of optimizations to Haskell programs. I will cover why LHC was created, how far we’ve come with its development and what features we’re aiming at including.

Next Meeting: Lemmih (David Himmelstrup) on LHC

The next meeting of the London Haskell User Group will be on Friday 20th February from 6:30PM at City University. Apologies for the short notice.

Lemmih (David Himmelstrup) will be talking about LHC, a recent fork of the JHC compiler. Full title and abstract to follow.
