1 HaBench: The Haskell Benchmark Suite
Recent discussions have illustrated the need for an up-to-date Haskell benchmark suite. The goal would be to package a number of representative benchmarks, written in Haskell, which users can run on their machine. Gathering (and publishing) performance numbers for these benchmarks on a number of different machines will hopefully help in guiding future development of both Haskell compilers and programs.

1.2 Ideas
- start from the (out-of-date?) nofib benchmark suite (GHC-only, includes ghcisms) (website)
- include Computer Language Shootout submissions (website)
- microbenchmarks for comparison with C (for example bytecopying) (dons)
- both a Haskell98 and Haskell'-only (sub)suite (JohnMeacam)
- multiple Haskell compilers (GHC, JHC, ...)
- maintain benchmark according to Hackage (Hackage list)
- Libraries and tools in Haskell
1.3 Notes
Random notes are below.
* (JohnMeacham) Insert non-formatted text here pretty much every compiler has a mode similar to 'ghc --make', so just let the user specify an arbitrary command line for the compiler to use, like 'jhc -v -flint $< -o $@' or 'ghc --make $< -o $@'
1.4 More info?
* #haskell IRC channel at Freenode * initial thread @ Haskell mailing list * follow-up thread @ Haskell-Cafe mailing list
