<adrien> companion_cube: 1GB here
rgrinberg has joined #ocaml
<adrien> one aspect is that I don't know how to combine a fast input, possibly on a bigarray or bytes, with Re and I don't know if it could be done without a fairly differnet API
<adrien> so I have to read the whole strings
<adrien> string*
<discocaml> <darrenldl> whats the regex in question?
<discocaml> <darrenldl> also are you reading the entire string in before scanning?
rgrinberg has quit [Client Quit]
<discocaml> <darrenldl> i think im primarily confused by the 1GB buffer - is the file not line based?

<adrien> the regex is '/zsys$' and yes, I'm reading the entire string first because the speed is limited by the time it takes to read the data
<adrien> I'm actually not doing any processing in the ocaml code at the moment
rgrinberg has quit [Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<adrien> I can read the data 30% faster if I Unix.read to the beginning of the string (i.e. pos = 0)
<adrien> I strace'd rg which only issues read() calls: no vmsplice (I know they can be a bit tricky to use but I'm curious)
<adrien> I guess there are virtual memory/cache things so I need to perf that to confirm which I'll do later on unless someone beats me to it (I guess this applies to /dev/zero too)
<adrien> (it does)

<companion_cube> rg is going to be extremely fast on this regex, for sure
<companion_cube> It uses simd and aho-corasick, iirc, to process multiple bytes at a time since this is basically just substring search

<discocaml> <darrenldl> adrien: if you handle it as a line stream, you can do pipelining for some level of parallelism (though maybe not worth it for short lines and simple regex), and also avoid huge allocation of 1GB up front

<discocaml> <darrenldl> that being said, i have no idea where the slowdown is precisely, so maybe this doesn't speed anything up
<adrien> reading older docs, it uses memchr() so for this regex it would maybe/probably search for \n and memchr definitely SIMDs this

<adrien> and if it does line-by-line, it doesn't have to accumulate buffers as long as it finds one \n in each
<adrien> so I would expect something quite fast there, and I'm not trying to replicate that: I expect that part to be really fast anyway
<adrien> my main concern was speed of reading from the pipe and then having a type that is appropriate for further processing
<adrien> Buffer.add_channel was very slow and line-by-line in_channel was slow too IIRC but I don't have numbers for that anymore
<adrien> I'm not trying to beat speed records for that, but mostly to understand better and see where performance boundaries lie
<discocaml> <darrenldl> my impression of large allocation in GBs is you pay a relatively big up front cost, but it's likely my knowledge is outdated
<adrien> I don't think the allocation of 1GB was an issue because I could see it being fast; however, dirtying all pages and moving memory repeatedly in and out of cache is likely expensive
<discocaml> <darrenldl> yeah you're right, just tried Buffer.create in utop, just an additional second
<adrien> I shall get hard numbers for that but a large allocation _without_ initializing the memory should be very inexpensive
<discocaml> <darrenldl> is your code online?
<adrien> no but it's just either Bytes.create and a recursive function that calls Unix.read while moving the offset, or Buffer.create and Buffer.add_channel
<discocaml> <darrenldl> gotcha
<adrien> I'll maybe publish something later on but right now computing alternatives is based on uncommenting the corresponding block of code
<discocaml> <darrenldl> yeah this is interesting, not obvious why it's much slower

<discocaml> <darrenldl> does rg do any mmap to file type of stuff?
<discocaml> <darrenldl> oh wait you checked rg strace already, nvm
<adrien> it's reading from a pipe so mmap is impossible
<adrien> I still haven't tested but I think that 64KB of data fits in the CPU cache nicely
<adrien> I tried reading more and 1MB at a time is a kind of maximum after which performance decreases
<adrien> 4KB isn't enough, 2MB is too much, and I would have to plot in-between but I should also have a machine that is otherwise silent so I get good benchmark numbers
<adrien> too much involvement right now

famubu has joined #ocaml
<famubu> Hi. Is there a way to use an infix operator as a prefix operator?
<discocaml> <._null._> Not exactly as a prefix operator, but you can get it as a regular ident
<discocaml> <._null._> Wrap it in parentheses and spaces
<famubu> Specifically, I was tyring to see if I could shorten `List.map (fun s -> "a" ^ s) str_list` to `List.map (^ "a") str_list`
<famubu> Thanks!
<discocaml> <._null._> `List.map ((^) "a") strlist`
<discocaml> <._null._> That doesn't mke it much more readable
<discocaml> <._null._> make*
<discocaml> <Kali> you can also just use the named version (`String.cat "a"`)
<famubu> Yeah.. `(^) "a"` doesn't really make it more readable. `String.cat` is better. Thank you.
