Esteban's ChangeLog week of 1 October 2018
by estebanlm＠gmail.com Oct. 8, 2018

Oct. 8, 2018

Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 1 October 2018 to 7 October 2018. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=1/10/2018&to=7/10/2018 ChangeLog ========= 5 October 2018: --------------- * I made a couple of backports to Pharo 6.1 * [case: 22517](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/22517) : Update ProfStef and fix spelling mistakes * [case: 22535](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/22535) : Backport Tonel v1.0.9 to Pharo 6.1 * I finished a "simple" [PR for Calypso](https://github.com/pharo-ide/Calypso/pull/330): It was about better exposing the usage of certain command when using the +cmd+/+ Calypso-Spotter help. Now, this was not obvious because this correspons to a command nobody is using it yet, but it will become important as we enhance discoverability of it :) 2 October 2018: --------------- * Well... I spent the full day debugging on smalltalkCI to send a [new fix](https://github.com/hpi-swa/smalltalkCI/pull/399) to allow the load of projects with packages already installed in the image. This is very useful for us, developing Pharo and their components. * Spec * Calypso * Iceberg * Zinc * etc. And maybe it will be useful for others in the future. cheers! Esteban

If your on a cloud server, you may want to idle for minutes or hours without processing delays, and restarting delays when I/O comes in. cheers -ben > > > On 2018-10-07, at 1:11 AM, Ben Coman <btc(a)openinworld.com> wrote: > > > > Cross posting since at this level systems are still very similar. > > > > I've sometimes wondered about how the idle process > > relinquishing the CPU interacted with delay scheduling, > > since they operate at the extreme opposite ends of process priorities. > > > > Historically there was... > > ProcessorScheduler class >> idleProcess > > [ "A default background process which is invisible." > > [true] whileTrue: > > [self relinquishProcessorForMicroseconds: 1000] > > > > which had the following performance this for later comparison... > > (1 to: 10) collect: [:i | [ (Delay forMilliseconds: 1) wait ] > timeToRun asMilliSeconds]. > > ==> "#(2 5 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 3)" > > > > To improve battery life yield time Pharo changed this to 50000 in... > > * > https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20425/Yield-longer-in-ProcessorScheduler-… > > * https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/commit/0b0d12dc > > but had a negative impact on delays... > > (1 to: 10) collect: [:i | [ (Delay forMilliseconds: 1) wait ] > timeToRun asMilliSeconds]. > > ==> "#(36 51 50 51 50 51 51 30 50 50)" > > as reported... > https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/22400/Delays-are-not-working-properly > > > > The problem seems to be that #relinquishProcessorForMicroseconds: > suspends the main VM thread for a fixed amount during which expired delays > cannot be dealt with.
