Packages ... group view example
by Geert Claes Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

I know I have seen it somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Can someone point me to an example where the packages are parsed by the "-"? e.g. Dsplayed as: v AST v Core > Matching > Nodes > Parser > Pattern > Tokens > Visitors > Interpreter > Tests Instead of: AST-Core AST-Core-Matching AST-Core-Nodes AST-Core-Parser AST-Core-Pattern AST-Core-Tokens AST-Core-Visitors AST-Interpreter-Core AST-Interpreter-Extension AST-Interpreter-Test AST-Tests-Core Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Packages-group-view-example-tp4701657.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Pharo performance
by Chris Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

I've been getting a little concerned with certain aspects of performance recently. Just a couple of examples off the top of my head were trying to do a printString on 200000 floats which takes over 3 seconds. If I do the same in Python it is only 0.25 seconds. Similarly reading 65000 points from a database with the PostgresV2 driver was about 800m/s and only 40 with psycopg. I'd have to try it again but am pretty sure going native was faster than OpenDBX as well. I appreciate Pharo is never going to be able to compete with the static-typed heavyweight languages but would hope we can get performance at least comparable to other dynamic languages :) Is it just that some method implementations are in need of some TLC; more things moved on top of C libraries and primitives and so forth rather than anything with the VM itself? Cheers Chris

Large images reasons [WAS] Re: Pharo 2.0 with Seaside + DBXTalk + GlorpDBX + Magritte 3 + TWBS is getting slower and slower
by Mariano Martinez Peck Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

OK, this was was my experiment.... Image fresh with all my app and dependencies loades: 30MB After using it for some days/weeks: 160MB. SpaceTally new printSpaceAnalysis showed: Class code space # instances inst space percent inst average size ByteString 2785 413144 116244078 69.90 281.36 Array 3712 181772 8466668 5.10 46.58 ByteArray 8574 1319 8186802 4.90 6206.82 Bitmap 3653 303 6656340 4.00 21968.12 CompiledMethod 22467 90554 5685374 3.40 62.78 After executing ImageCleaner cleanUpForRelease: 36MB Then...I searched which part of #cleanUpForRelease: was making the difference, and it was: Smalltalk cleanUp: true except: #() confirming: false. So now it was time to know WHICH class did the diference, so I modified #cleanUp: aggressive except: exclusions confirming: aBool in these lines: "Run the cleanup code" classes do:[:aClass| Transcript show: 'Image size before cleaning ', aClass name, ' : ', Smalltalk imagePath asFileReference size asString. aClass cleanUp: aggressive. 3 timesRepeat: [Smalltalk garbageCollect]. Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: false. Transcript show: 'Image size after cleaning ', aClass name, ' : ', Smalltalk imagePath asFileReference size asString. ] displayingProgress: [:aClass| 'Cleaning up in ', aClass name]. I then opened a Transcript, and evaluated Smalltalk cleanUp: true except: #() confirming: false. I went to prepare Mate, and when I come back, the result was, of course: "Image size after cleaning MCFileBasedRepository : 39744008" That clean up ends up doing: flushAllCaches self allSubInstancesDo: [:ea | ea flushCache] So it sends #flushCache to all instances of MCHttpRepository and MCFileBasedRepository. Now what I wanted to see if it there was a particular repo that could take most of the space (like package-cache). And indeed, it was...I modified #flushCaches to: flushAllCaches | file | file := 'repos.txt' asFileReference writeStream text. self allSubInstancesDo: [:each | file nextPutAll: 'Image size before cleaning ', each printString, ' : ', Smalltalk imagePath asFileReference size asString; cr. each flushCache. 3 timesRepeat: [Smalltalk garbageCollect]. Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: false. file nextPutAll: 'Image size after cleaning ', each printString, ' : ', Smalltalk imagePath asFileReference size asString;cr. ]. file flush; close. And then I looked in the 'repos.txt' file. My package cache repo cleaned 60 MB. Glorp cleaned 35MB. Seaside30 cleaned 10MB. So...cleaning cache of just 3 repos frees approx 100MB. The question is....can we flush the cache safely? If they are called "cache", then I guess yes, we can. Thoughts?

Broken link for download Portable edition
by Gisela Decuzzi Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

Hi, I want to try the portable edition I saw in the download's page but is pointing to http://files.pharo.org/portable/Pharo3.0-portable.zip and in files.pharo.org seems missing the portable folder at all. I checked in the old server (http://pharo.gforge.inria.fr/ci/) and there is not portable folder also. Someone know where I can find it?

[ann] a snappier snapshotcello
by Tudor Girba July 30, 2013

July 30, 2013

Hi, A new version of Snapshotcello is now reachable from your Pharo 2.0 image. Besides snapshotting the current version, you now get the possibility of: - marking the new version as stable, - committing the configuration package, and - pushing the package to the official Pharo repository. Here is an example: Snapshotcello new configurationClass: ConfigurationOfSnapshotcello; sourceVersion: #development; targetVersion: '1.4-snapshot'; snapshot; makeStableFor: #'pharo2.x'; commit; pushToPharo20Repository A more detailed description can be found here: http://www.tudorgirba.com/blog/snappier-snapshotcello We can certainly improve this, and it would be great to have a similar mechanism integrated into Metacello. But, in the meantime, I find myself for the first time literally one do-it away from distributing projects that are developed without much constraints. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"
