Description

Deprecated: This structure does not perform well, and will be removed in future versions

This module defines the AList type, a list that supports constant-time append, and is therefore ideal for building the result of tree-shaped parallel computations.

Synopsis

The AList type and operations

data AList a Source

List that support constant-time append (sometimes called join-lists).

Constructors

ANil 
ASing a 
Append (AList a) (AList a) 
AList [a] 

Instances

Typeable1 AList 
Eq a => Eq (AList a) 
Show a => Show (AList a) 
NFData a => NFData (AList a) 
Serialize a => Serialize (AList a) 

empty :: AList aSource

O(1) an empty AList

singleton :: a -> AList aSource

O(1) a singleton AList

cons :: a -> AList a -> AList aSource

O(1) prepend an element

head :: AList a -> aSource

O(n) take the head element of an AList

NB. linear-time, because the list might look like this:

 (((... `append` a) `append` b) `append` c)

tail :: AList a -> AList aSource

O(n) take the tail element of an AList

length :: AList a -> IntSource

O(n) find the length of an AList

null :: AList a -> BoolSource

O(n) returns True if the AList is empty

append :: AList a -> AList a -> AList aSource

O(1) Append two ALists

toList :: AList a -> [a]Source

O(n) converts an AList to an ordinary list

fromList :: [a] -> AList aSource

O(1) convert an ordinary list to an AList

fromListBalanced :: [a] -> AList aSource

Convert an ordinary list, but do so using Append and ASing rather than AList

Regular (non-parallel) Combinators

filter :: (a -> Bool) -> AList a -> AList aSource

map :: (a -> b) -> AList a -> AList bSource

The usual map operation.

partition :: (a -> Bool) -> AList a -> (AList a, AList a)Source

Operations to build ALists in the Par monad

parBuildThresh :: (NFData a, ParFuture f p) => Int -> InclusiveRange -> (Int -> a) -> p (AList a)Source

A parMap over an AList can result in more balanced parallelism than the default parMap over Traversable data types. parMap :: NFData b => (a -> b) -> AList a -> Par (AList b)

Build a balanced AList in parallel, constructing each element as a function of its index. The threshold argument provides control over the degree of parallelism. It indicates under what number of elements the build process should switch from parallel to serial.

parBuildThreshM :: (NFData a, ParFuture f p) => Int -> InclusiveRange -> (Int -> p a) -> p (AList a)Source

Variant of parBuildThresh in which the element-construction function is itself a Par computation.

parBuild :: (NFData a, ParFuture f p) => InclusiveRange -> (Int -> a) -> p (AList a)Source

"Auto-partitioning" version of parBuildThresh that chooses the threshold based on the size of the range and the number of processors..

parBuildM :: (NFData a, ParFuture f p) => InclusiveRange -> (Int -> p a) -> p (AList a)Source

like parBuild, but the construction function is monadic

Inspect and modify the internal structure of an AList tree

balance :: AList a -> AList aSource

Balance the tree representation of an AList.
