shallowCopy problem on 64 bit Pharo ?
Hi all, I'm very happy to see that the 64 bit Pharo vm is progressing. I've even managed to get a ~6.85 GB heap allocated (see http://bit.ly/2lbp8n6). This is great! There seems however to be a small problem with the #shallowCopy message, which is 2.63 times slower on the 64bit VM (image/vm details bellow). The bench that I used is a simple random graph analysis tool that is intended to do a lot of random memory accesses on big heaps, which is accessible at http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~CipT/PlugMC In this case I expect the execution time to be dominated by the Set implementation (which is the case with pharo 5 -- see http://bit.ly/2lbzJhd), and not by the array copy (see http://bit.ly/2kvbqvy). Is this a 64bit limitation, or only a feature "not yet available" ? Where can I access the latests versions of 64 bit pharo image and vm ?

I remember there was a discussion about that somewhere but I can't find it. I cc vm-dev they may have a clue. When copying a pointer object in 64 bits instead of 32 bits, you need to copy twice many data, so it is going to be slower in any case. 2.63 times slower seems to be too much however. The latest Pharo 64 bits image can be found here: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/job/Pharo-6.0-Update-Step-3.1-64bits/ The latest Pharo 64 bits VM can be found here: https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog Best, On Sun, Feb 5, 2017 at 1:27 PM, Ciprian Teodorov <ciprian.teodorov@gmail.com

Hi Cip Cool to see you trying the 64 bits :) Your feedback and cases are really nice for Pharo. Stef
