Has anyone tried compiling the Pharo VM into JS using Emscripten?

by Andy Burnett

I just saw this implementation of SQLite as a JS system, via Emscripten, and I was curious whether something similar would be even vaguely possible for the VM. Cheers Andy á§

Problems with Roassal2 & Pharo 3.0

by volkert＠nivoba.de

Started today with a fresh download of Pharo 3.0 and installed Roassal2 from the Configbrowser. Looks like Roassal now depends on the GTToolkit and other things, which are not correctly handled in the Config. What is missing here? What packages should be loaded? It is a bit disappointing how unstable/fragile the things are .... i see that you want make progress, but it is really hard to follow the development when not a "hardcore&fulltime" User .... Volkert

Re: [Pharo-users] running out of memory while processing a 220MB csv file with NeoCSVReader - tips?

by Paul DeBruicker

Hi Sven, Thanks for taking a look and testing the NeoCSVReader portion for me. You're right of course that there's something I'm doing that's slow. But. There is something I can't figure out yet. To provide a little more detail: When the 'csv reading' process completes successfully profiling shows that most of the time is spent in NeoCSVReader>>#peekChar and using NeoCSVReader>>##addField: to convert a string to a DateAndTime. Dropping the DateAndTime conversion speeds things up but doesn't stop it from running out of memory. I start the image with ./pharo-ui --memory 1000m myimage.image Splitting the CSV file helps: ~1.5MB 5,000 lines = 1.2 seconds. ~15MB 50,000 lines = 8 seconds. ~30MB 100,000 lines = 16 seconds. ~60MB 200,000 lines = 45 seconds. It seems that when the CSV file crosses ~70MB in size things start going haywire with performance, and leads to the out of memory condition. The processing never ends. Sending "kill -SIGUSR1" prints a stack primarily composed of: 0xbffc5d08 M OutOfMemory class(Exception class)>signal 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class 0xbffc5d20 M OutOfMemory class(Behavior)>basicNew 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class 0xbffc5d38 M OutOfMemory class(Behavior)>new 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class 0xbffc5d50 M OutOfMemory class(Exception class)>signal 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class 0xbffc5d68 M OutOfMemory class(Behavior)>basicNew 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class 0xbffc5d80 M OutOfMemory class(Behavior)>new 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class 0xbffc5d98 M OutOfMemory class(Exception class)>signal 0x1f7ac060: a(n) OutOfMemory class So it seems like its trying to signal that its out of memory after its out of memory which triggers another OutOfMemory error. So that's why progress stops. ** Aside - OutOfMemory should probably be refactored to be able to signal itself without taking up more memory, triggering itself infinitely. Maybe it & its signalling morph infrastructure would be good as a singleton ** I'm confused about why it runs out of memory. According to htop the image only takes up about 520-540 MB of RAM when it reaches the 'OutOfMemory' condition. This Macbook Air laptop has 4GB, and has plenty of room for the image to grow. Also I've specified a 1,000MB image size when starting. So it should have plenty of room. Is there something I should check or a flag somewhere that prevents it from growing on a Mac?

Re: [Pharo-users] running out of memory while processing a 220MB csv file with NeoCSVReader - tips?

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Hi Paul, I think you must be doing something wrong with your class, the #do: is implemented as streaming over the record one by one, never holding more than one in memory. This is what I tried: 'paul.csv' asFileReference writeStreamDo: [ :file| ZnBufferedWriteStream on: file do: [ :out | (NeoCSVWriter on: out) in: [ :writer | writer writeHeader: { #Number. #Color. #Integer. #Boolean}. 1 to: 1e7 do: [ :each | writer nextPut: { each. #(Red Green Blue) atRandom. 1e6 atRandom. #(true false) atRandom } ] ] ] ]. This results in a 300Mb file: $ ls -lah paul.csv -rw-r--r--@ 1 sven staff 327M Nov 14 20:45 paul.csv $ wc paul.csv 10000001 10000001 342781577 paul.csv This is a selective read and collect (loads about 10K records): Array streamContents: [ :out | 'paul.csv' asFileReference readStreamDo: [ :in | (NeoCSVReader on: (ZnBufferedReadStream on: in)) in: [ :reader | reader skipHeader; addIntegerField; addSymbolField; addIntegerField; addFieldConverter: [ :x | x = #true ]. reader do: [ :each | each third < 1000 ifTrue: [ out nextPut: each ] ] ] ] ]. This worked fine on my MacBook Air, no memory problems. It takes a while to parse that much data, of course.

running out of memory while processing a 220MB csv file with NeoCSVReader - tips?

by Paul DeBruicker

Hi - I'm processing a 9 GBs of CSV files (the biggest file is 220MB or so). I'm not sure if its because of the size of the files or the code I've written to keep track of the domain objects I'm interested in, but I'm getting out of memory errors & crashes in Pharo 3 on Mac with the latest VM. I haven't checked other vms. I'm going to profile my own code and attempt to split the files manually for now to see what else it could be. Right now I'm doing something similar to |file reader| file:= '/path/to/file/myfile.csv' asFileReference readStream. reader: NeoCSVReader on: file reader recordClass: MyClass; skipHeader; addField: #myField:; .... reader do:[:eachRecord | self seeIfRecordIsInterestingAndIfSoKeepIt: eachRecord]. file close. Is there a facility in NeoCSVReader to read a file in batches (e.g. 1000 lines at a time) or an easy way to do that ? Thanks Paul
