GSOC Pharo application done
by Serge Stinckwich
Dear all,
thanks to the efforts of Jigyasa Grover, Yuriy Tymchuk and Alexandre
Bergel, , we were able to have a GSOC 2017 application for the Pharo
Consortium. This is only the first phase. If we are selected by
Google, they will give some slots for students.
We have a list of projects for GSOC here : http://gsoc.pharo.org/
If you have more ideas, please send them to me or send a PR on :
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-project-proposals/blob/master/Topics…
Try to describe your project idea with 10-15 lines maximum.
The ideas is not too much projects proposals but to find important
projects for the Pharo community (i.e that will have some impact for
the community) with the support of the appropriate mentors.
I would like to have maximum 2-3 projects for each mentors.
Thank you.
Cheers,

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Pharo-users] Slack, fragmentation and design information
by phil@highoctane.be
I am frustated by this too and indeed we need a way to keep the messages.
I am about done with my wrapping of LibStrophe in Pharo with , which
provides a XMPP/Jabber client to Pharo.
So, if someone can activate the XMPP gateway on our Slack instance, we will
have a way to archive the contents (and possibly post a kind of digest into
a mailing list).

Can you reduce the size of the "Distributed Issue Tracker" subject
because there is too much details compared to other subjects.
Thank you.

As a result a large part of the communication about design and how to do things has moved from the mailing lists to Slack. As we're using the free version, and cannot afford to use the commercial version, we have no long-time storage of the design discussions. This contrasts with our mailing lists, that have a long-term archive. There was some discussion about this, and I'm not aware of that resulting in an accessible, easy to access archive. Also, we have not succeeded in summarizing design discussions from slack to the mailing lists. The resulting gap in design information forms an enormous long-term risk for our community. Without the design discussions it is much more difficult to later understand why decisions were taken. We cannot afford to let this short-term ease-of-use destroy Pharo's community history, and thereby Pharo. Let us fix this.

yes it is.
Is just not prepared for open source communities like ours.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Integer arithmetic and bit counting performance in Squeak and Pharo
by Clément Bera
Hi,
This is a lovely post. Thanks for posting about Smalltalk / Pharo / Squeak.
1. Why *exactly* does the override work (in 32bit images)?
2. What changed so that things are different in Squeak 5.1 64bit image
(overrides partially work)?
If I am correct your questions are exclusively for bitOr: and bitAnd:. I
don't know what you are aware of and what you're not aware of, hence I am
going to give you some details on how bitAnd: is executed (bitOr: is done
exactly the same way), and hopefully there will be something you don't know
yet that should help you understand what's going on.
*Execution of bitAnd:*
bitAnd: a special selector. If you run Smalltalk specialSelectors you get
this array: #(#+ 1 #- 1 #< 1 #> 1 #<= 1 #>= 1 #= 1 #~= 1 #* 1 #/ 1 #\\ 1
#@ 1 #bitShift: 1 #// 1 #bitAnd: 1 #bitOr: 1 #at: 1 #at:put: 2 #size 0
#next 0 #nextPut: 1 #atEnd 0 #== 1 #class 0 #blockCopy: 1 #value 0 #value:
1 #do: 1 #new 0 #new: 1 #x 0 #y 0) which includes bitAnd: .
Special selectors are encoded in the bytecode differently to save memory,
so they can be executed differently without inducing overhead. In Cog,
bitAnd: is executed differently using type-prediction.
In the Stack Interpreter, the execution of bitAnd: is done as follows:
If both operands are SmallIntegers,
push the bitAnd: value of the 2 SmallIntegers
else
Try the primitive BitAnd for SmallIntegers (14)
on success
push the result
on failure
perform the send.
In the JIT, bitAnd: sends are compiled differently that normal send, the
compilation logic is as follows:
If both operands are SmallInteger literals
compute the result during compilation and use this value
else
If one of the 2 operands is a SmallInteger literal
generate 2 paths, a quick inlined path testing at runtime that
the other operand is a SmallInteger, and if so, Ands the operands and use
that result, else use the slow path performing a send
else
generate a normal send
*Primitives*
primitive 14 -> Works for SmallIntegers and LargePositiveInteger fitting in
an unsigned machine word. (Slower than direct SmallInteger bitAnd performed
by the special selector)
primitive 34 -> Works for SmallIntegers and LargePositiveInteger fitting in
an unsigned int64. (Slower than primitive 14 in 32 bits but covering more
cases, equivalent in 64 bits)
primDigitBitAnd (in Integer) -> Works for any integer. (Slower than the
primitive 14 and 34)
*SmallInteger encoding*
In 32 bits, SmallIntegers are signed 31bits integer.
In 64 bits, SmallIntegers are signed 61 bits integer.
*Discussion*
Let's make some assertions based on previous information:
1) If you have the exact same bitAnd: implementation for #bitAnd: and
#bitAnd2:, #bitAnd2: is slower because it is not a special selector.
2) Still with the exact same bitAnd: implementation, using the JIT, things
like that:
16r1 bitAnd: 1. "1 bits"
16r2 bitAnd: 2. "2 bit"
16r4 bitAnd: 4. "3 bit"
16r8 bitAnd: 3. "4 bit"
Are bitAnd: operations between SmallInteger constants and the result is
unused. Hence this whole portion of code does not generate any native
instructions.
On the other hand, things like that:
16r1 bitAnd2: 1. "1 bits"
16r2 bitAnd2: 2. "2 bit"
16r4 bitAnd2: 4. "3 bit"
16r8 bitAnd2: 3. "4 bit"
Are sends, generating multiple native instructions including calls.
3) Because of the SmallInteger encoding,
16r200000000000000 bitAnd: 98490667780264321. "58 bit"
is compiled by the JIT to nothing in 64 bits but to a send in 32 bits (the
JIT can't solve LargeInteger arithmetic at compilation time).
4) primitive 34 provides some speed-up over primitive 14 in 32 bits,
covering bitAnd: operations from unsigned 33 bits integer to unsigned 64
bits integer, but makes no difference in 64 bits. In 64bits all the cases
covered by primitive 34 are covered by primitive 14, so it should even slow
down things.
*So...*
Does this answer your questions ?
Don't hesitate to ask further questions.
If you want more details, I wrote something about special selectors a while
ago:
https://clementbera.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/arithmetic-inlined-and-special…
.
Best,
Clement
PS1: If I'm correct, you referenced my blog a couple times, thank you for
doing this, I really appreciate that.
PS2: I enjoy chess myself, so if you have an open-source/MIT working
algorithm at some point please send it to me, I will play against the AI
and look at the code.

Slack, fragmentation and design information
by Stephan Eggermont
The past year we have started using Slack to communicate in real-time
about Pharo. It has nice (mobile) clients and makes it easy to share
pictures and snippets. As a result a large part of the communication
about design and how to do things has moved from the mailing lists to
Slack. As we're using the free version, and cannot afford to use the
commercial version, we have no long-time storage of the design
discussions. This contrasts with our mailing lists, that have a
long-term archive. There was some discussion about this, and I'm not
aware of that resulting in an accessible, easy to access archive. Also,
we have not succeeded in summarizing design discussions from slack to
the mailing lists. The resulting gap in design information forms an
enormous long-term risk for our community. Without the design
discussions it is much more difficult to later understand why decisions
were taken. We cannot afford to let this short-term ease-of-use destroy
Pharo's community history, and thereby Pharo. Let us fix this.
