- <h1>Other Sources of Wisdom</h1>
- <p>
- Believe it or not, but there are other people besides you who are
- masochistic enough to study the innards of the beast. Some of the have
- been kind (or cruel?) enough to share their insights with us. Here is a
- probably incomplete list:
- <p>
- <ul>
-
- <li>The <a
- href="http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gph/docs/StgSurvival.ps.gz">STG
- Survival Sheet</a> has -- according to its header -- been written by
- `a poor wee soul',<sup><a href="#footnote1">1</a></sup> which
- probably has been pushed into the torments of madness by the very
- act of contemplating the inner workings of the STG runtime system.
- This document discusses GHC's runtime system with a focus on
- support for parallel processing (aka GUM).
-
- <li>Instructions on <a
- href="http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~olaf/PUBLICATIONS/extendGHC.html">Adding
- an Optimisation Pass to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler</a>
- have been compiled by <a
- href="http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~olaf/">Olaf Chitil</a>.
- Unfortunately, this document is already a little aged.
-
- <li><a href="http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~apt/">Andrew Tolmach</a> has defined
- <a href="http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/papers/core.ps.gz">an external
- representation of
- GHC's <em>Core</em> language</a> and also implemented a GHC pass
- that emits the intermediate form into <code>.hcr</code> files. The
- option <code>-fext-core</code> triggers GHC to emit Core code after
- optimisation; in addition, <code>-fno-code</code> is often used to
- stop compilation after Core has been emitted.
