[ANN] Guile-Parallel 1.0.0 released

[ANN] Guile-Parallel 1.0.0 released

[Olivier Dion via General Guile related discussions]

Hi Guilers,

I'm happy to announce the first release of guile-parallel.  A library
that offers primitives for parallelization of your programs.

Project page: <https://git.sr.ht/~old/guile-parallel>

List of features:

 - Userspace threads (jobs schedulers)

 - Safe dynamic-wind for all types of threads (kernel and userspace)

 - sleep, usleep and nsleep for all types of threads

 - (ice-9 atomic) extensions, e.g. atomic counters

 - (ice-9 q) wrapper, i.e. safe for all types of threads

 - Barriers à la Pthread

 - Condition variables, mutexes and semaphores for kernel and userspace
   threads

 - Parallel vector-map vector-count, vector-sort, vector-map-reduce

Next features:

 - Asynchronous I/O

 - Channels à la Go with a select syntax (maybe?)

If there're interests, usages or requests for it, please let me know!  I
might add it to Guix if some find it useful.

Regards,
old

interesting, yesterday i just succed in setting up a // code with Guile
that use OpenMP, i will post it in a separate thread.

I looked at the examples in the repository a bit and it looks impressive!

Maybe I can already make use of it in coming AoC puzzles.

I am currently a bit confused about where the line is between a good use-case 
for guile-parallel and guile-fibers. Or whether they could work well together or 
the people making them should work together ; )

Zelphir

I haven't use fibers a lot, but I think that if you ever need to handle
asynchronous I/O, for now you should stick with fibers.  Also, fibers
was written by peoples that have a way better understanding of Guile
internal then I do, so I would expect it to be better in some areas.  It
also use epoll(2) instead of select(2), which is way better for events
listening.  I will make the change once Guile has native support for
epoll(2).  I currently only use select(2) for listening on
timerfd_create(2) timers to handle sleeps of userspace threads, so the
impact is marginal.

Where I can see a clear difference is in the primitives offered to the
users.  Fibers works with channels and follows a paradigm à la
Concurrent ML while Parallel works with traditionnal primitives like
barriers, mutexes, semaphores, etc.  Parallel also aims at providing
useful parallel algorithms to the users.  e.g. vector sort.

The ultimate goal of Parallel is to make communication between userspace
threads and kernel threads transparent.  All synchronization primitives
should work for all threads types and for different schedulers.

I think that one can quickly use Parallel without modifying too much its
code base to make it work, e.g. by replacing (rnrs sorting) vector-sort
with (parallel vector) parallel-vector-sort.  You can also replace the
usage of (ice-9 futures) with (parallel futures).  The latter scale
better from my benchmarks.

epoll is as I understand it linux only so that's not a reasonable
dependency.   fibers now works with libevent which wraps multiple
faclilities and is thus pretty portable.

Guile-Fibers still uses epoll on Linux, on other systems it uses libevent.

I typically only develop for Linux.  But I don't mind using an
abstraction that could be portable for other systems.  Do you think
libevent has something similar to timerfd_create(2)?  That is, timers
represented by file descriptor.

Understood - I just meant that fibers is now (at least 99% of the way)
to "broadly portable".

I don't know the details of Olivier's question and libevent, but would
suggest that libevent does the sort of things that are needed and is the
standard portable approach and is thus worth a hard look as the
presumptive right answer, absent something better that only relies on
what POSIX requires (and what's on Hurd :-).

Hmm from a description I see on Guix, libev has relative timers.  I
don't know if it's portable like libevent though.  Will look at both thanks!

Well from my reading, it might be interesting to have a guile-libev.

Is this a bug report for Guile-Fibers? If so, could you provide basic 
information like which commit you are using, the backtrace, which file 
is being compiled (if any), ...?

Also, while you can send bug reports by e-mail, if you have a GitHub 
account, then the bug tracker at https://github.com/wingo/fibers/issues 
is preferred.

I can replace timerfd with timer_create().  It's POSIX compliant.

 timerf_create does not exist on Mac OS system.Perhaps a call to a posix
function will be ok. I'm reinstalling a new linux so i can not compare, i
try on a Linux with Guile 3.0.1 but unfortunately (foreign-library) is
missing.Hope i could have more info tomorrow....

no i did not test fibers  ,just look at it, but perhaps it is necessary for
parallel ? i saw the configure file (of parallel) claim about fibers? i
will download fibers and test on Mac again and hope to finish reinstalling
the recent Linux tomorrow (complicated because triple boot,MacOS, Linux
kicked Windows......) I can  not compare parallel and openMP because of
missing timerfd_create on mac os .
If i do a :
man timerfd_create on linux i got the doc in the manual,but nothing on Mac
os,timerfd_create seems to be part of Gnu C library.But you should know
that better than me.

IIUC, it's a bug report for Guile Parallel then?

> i saw the configure file (of parallel) claim about fibers? i will download fibers and test on Mac again

To be clear, I did not propose installing Guile Fibers. AFAIK, Guile 
Fibers is not a dependency of Guile Parallel, but I didn't check.

I make no claims towards the existence or non-existence of 
timerfd_create on Mac.

Hello Olivier!

May I ask how to make use of the library? I cloned the project onto my local 
machine in a subfolder of a project, in which I want to use it. There are some 
guix files in the guile-parallel repository, but I am unsure how to make use of 
it as a guix package. I think there was a possibility to use local code as a 
package in a guix shell, but I cannot find the info how to do it, so I tried the 
following:

~~~~
# from the main dir of my project
# guile-parallel is cloned into the subfolder guile-parallel
# so basically: git clone git-repo-url, nothing more

guix shell -L guile-parallel guile -- guile -L .
%%%% Starting test (parallel atomic)  (Writing full log to "(parallel atomic).log")

~~~~

At that step it hangs. Doesn't do anything. Does not put load on my CPU, just hangs.

Maybe I am doing it wrong.

Best regards,
Zelphir

I could publish the next revision to Guix!  In the mean time, I think
you can do the following from your root project directory:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell \
     --file=guile-parallel/.guix.scm \
     --with-source=guile-parallel=guile-parallel
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can replace `guix-shell' with `guix-build' to get the path where
guile-parallel was built.

Also you could copy the package definition of guile-parallel under
guile-parallel/.guix.scm in your project tree somehwere.  Then, you can
use
`--with-source=guile-parallel=https://git.sr.ht/~old/guile-parallel/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz'
to use release source.

Hope that help!

(linebreaks inserted for readability) That one also does not seem to work for me.

It is not a show stopper for me, as I can simply use my previously created 
parallel functions and replace them later, but I think it would be nice to try 
out guile-parallel : )

Try with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell \
     guile \
     --file=guile-parallel/.guix.scm \
     --with-source=guile-parallel=guile-parallel
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

otherwise you're using the guile in the previous environment, which does
not have its load path set correctly I think!
