Haskell small CPU leak - haskell

I’m experiencing small CPU leaks using GHC 7.8.3 and Yesod 1.4.9.
When I run my site with time and stop it (Ctrl+C) after 1 minute without doing anything (just run, no request at all), it consumes 1 second. It represents approximately 1.7% of CPU.
$ time mysite
^C
real 1m0.226s
user 0m1.024s
sys 0m0.060s
If I disable the idle garbage collector, it drops to 0.35 second (0.6% of CPU). Though it’s better, it still consumes CPU without doing anything.
$ time mysite +RTS -I0 # Disable idle GC
^C
real 1m0.519s
user 0m0.352s
sys 0m0.064s
$ time mysite +RTS -I0
^C
real 4m0.676s
user 0m0.888s
sys 0m0.468s
$ time mysite +RTS -I0
^C
real 7m28.282s
user 0m1.452s
sys 0m0.976s
Compared to a cat command waiting indefinitely for something on the standard input:
$ time cat
^C
real 1m1.349s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
Is there anything else in Haskell that does consume CPU in the background ?
Is it a leak from Yesod ?
Or is it something that I have done in my program ? (I have only added handler functions, I don’t do parallel computation)

Found a related bug in the Yesod bug tracker. Ran my program like this:
myserver +RTS -I0 -RTS Development
And now idle CPU usage is down to almost nothing, compared to 14% or so before (ARM computer). The I0 (that's I and zero) option turns off periodic garbage collection, which defaults to 0.3 secs I think. Not sure about that implications for app responsiveness or memory usage, but for me at least this is definitely the culprit.

Cassandra cluster: write speed decreased with multiple nodes

I'm testing Cassandra 4.0 with 3 nodes as a POC, all the nodes are using VMs with 8GB RAM and 2 cores. The VMs were created in a way to make sure that they do not share I/O.
I started the 1st node, and with 50 threads in the client, it takes 7 sec to insert 150,000 records(No batch). So the write speed is 22k/sec. Then I added 2nd node, and started another client(write to different table at the same time with the first client) with 50 threads, also insert 150k records, it takes 18sec for both clients to finish, so the write speed becomes 16k/sec. Last, I added 3rd node, with the 2 clients, it takes 27 sec for 300k records to insert, so the write speed becomes 11k/sec. Apparently, the write speed decreased with more nodes added.
I checked CPU usage and it is around 70~80%.
Here is the result from "nodetool status":

The table created with:

create table example.tweet(timeline text, id UUID, text text, PRIMARY KEY(id));
And the client code:

start_time:=time.Now().UnixNano()
for i :=0 ; i < gophers; i++ {
wg.Add(1)
// spin up a gopher
go gopher(i, &wg)
}
wg.Wait()
end_time := time.Now().UnixNano()
total_time := (end_time - start_time)/1000000
fmt.Println("total spent time: ", strconv.FormatInt(total_time, 10))

cluster.Timeout = 25*time.Second
cluster.Consistency = gocql.LocalQuorum
cluster.Keyspace = "example"
session, err := cluster.CreateSession()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer session.Close()
stmt:= session.Query("INSERT INTO tweet (timeline, id, text) VALUES (?, ?, ?)")
fmt.Println("StartTime: ", time.Now())
for i:=0; i < entries; i ++ {
_=stmt.Bind("me", gocql.TimeUUID(), "Hello"+strconv.Itoa(i)).Exec()
}
fmt.Println("EndTime:", time.Now())
}
I wonder if anyone can give me some suggestion on what else I can look for?
If you are running all the 3 VMs on the same physical host then that would invalidate your test because the 3 VMs are competing for the same physical resources.
For the test to be valid, you should host each VM on a separate physical host. Cheers!

Improving memory usage during serialization (Data.Binary)

I'm still kinda new to Haskell and learning new things every day. My problem is a too high memory usage during seralization using the Data.Binary library. Maybe I'm just using the library the wrong way, but I can't figure it out.
The actual idea is, that I read binary data from disk, add new data und write everything back to disk. Here's the code:
module Main
where
import Data.Binary
import System.Environment
import Data.List (foldl')
data DualNo = DualNo Int Int deriving (Show)
instance Data.Binary.Binary DualNo where
put (DualNo a b) = do
put a
put b
get = do
a <- get
b <- get
return (DualNo a b)
-- read DualNo from HDD
readData :: FilePath -> IO [DualNo]
readData filename = do
no <- decodeFile filename :: IO [DualNo]
return no
-- write DualNo to HDD
writeData :: [DualNo] -> String -> IO ()
writeData no filename = encodeFile filename (no :: [DualNo])
writeEmptyDataToDisk :: String -> IO ()
writeEmptyDataToDisk filename = writeData [] filename
-- feed a the list with a new dataset
feedWithInputData :: [DualNo] -> [(Int, Int)] -> [DualNo]
feedWithInputData existData newData = foldl' func existData newData
where
func dataset (a,b) = DualNo a b : dataset
main :: IO ()
main = do
[newInputData, toPutIntoExistingData] <- System.Environment.getArgs
if toPutIntoExistingData == "empty"
then writeEmptyDataToDisk "myData.dat"
else return ()
loadedData <- readData "myData.dat"
newData <- return (case newInputData of
"dataset1" -> feedWithInputData loadedData dataset1

I'm pretty sure, there's a lot to improve in this code. But my biggest problem is the memory usage with big datasets.
I profiled my programm with GHC.

The more often I add new data, the higher the memory usage becomes. I mean, it's clear, that I need more memory for a bigger dataset. But isn't there a better solution for this problem (like gradually writing data back to disk).
Edit:
Actually the most important thing, that bothers me, is the following observation:
I run the program for the first time and add new data to an existing (empty) file on my disk.
The size of the saved file on my disk is: 1.53 MByte.
But (looking at the first prof-file) the program allocated more than 102 MByte. More than 50% was allocated by the put function from the Data.Binary package.
I run the program a second time and add new data to an existing (not empty) file on my disk.
The size of the saved file on my disk is 3.05 MByte.
But (looking at the second prof-file) the program allocated more than 213 MByte. More than 66% was allocated by the put and get function together.
=> Conclusion: In the first example I needed 102/1.53 = 66 times more memory running the program than space for the binary file on my disk.
In the second example I needed 213/3.05 = 69 times more memory running the programm than space for the binary file on my disk.
Question:
Is the Data.Binary package for serialization so efficient (and awesome), that it can decrease the needed memory to such an extent.
Analogous question:
Do I really need so much more memory for loading the data in my program than space for the the same data in a binary-file on disk?

What is `MAIN` ? (ghc profiling)

I build an old big project, Pugs, with ghc 7.10.1 using stack build (I wrote my own stack.yaml). Then I run stack build --library-profiling --executable-profiling and .stack-work/install/x86_64-osx/nightly-2015-06-26/7.10.1/bin/pugs -e 'my $i=0; for (1..100_000) { $i++ }; say $i' +RTS -pa and output the following pugs.prof file.

MAIN costs 92.2% of time, however, I don't know what MAIN means. What does MAIN label mean?
I was in the same spot a few days ago. What I deduced is the same thing, MAIN is expressions without anotations. It's counts shrink significantly if you add "-fprof-auto" and "-caf-all". Those options will also let you find a lot of interesting things happening in your code.

How to profile libraries?

Is there any hidden option that will put cost centres in libraries? Currently I have set up my profiling like this:
cabal:
ghc-prof-options: -O2
-threaded
-fexcess-precision
-fprof-auto
-rtsopts
"-with-rtsopts=-N -p -s -h -i0.1"
exec:
# cabal sandbox init
# cabal install --enable-library-profiling --enable-executable-profiling
# cabal configure --enable-library-profiling --enable-executable-profiling
# cabal run
This works and creates the expected .prof file, .hp file and the summary when the program finishes.
Problem is that the .prof file doesn't contain anything that doesn't belong to the current project. My guess is that there is probably a option that will put cost centers in external library code?
My guess is that there is probably a option that will put cost centers in external library code?
Well, not per default. You need to add the cost centers when you compile the dependency. However, you can add -fprof-auto to the ghc options during cabal install:
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --ghc-option=-fprof-auto -p --enable-executable-profiling
Example
An example using code from this question, where the code from the question is contained in SO.hs:
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install vector -p --ghc-options=-fprof-auto
$ cabal exec -- ghc --make SO.hs -prof -fprof-auto -O2
$ ./SO /usr/share/dict/words +RTS -s -p
$ cat SO.prof

Unfortunately, you cannot state --ghc-option=… as a flag at the dependencies.
You also need -prof.
GHC Users's Guide says "There are a few other profiling-related compilation options. Use them in addition to -prof. These do not have to be used consistently for all modules in a program.

you see, that the sum of RSS is 152.484MB, the sum of VSZ is 3376.34MB, so I don't know who eat up the rest of the memory, the kernel?
From my system:
$ grep ^S[^wh] /proc/meminfo
Slab: 4707412 kB
SReclaimable: 4602900 kB
SUnreclaim: 104512 kB
These three metrics are data structures held by the slab alocator. While SUnreclaimable is, well, unreclaimable, SReclaimable is just like any other cache in the system - it will be made available to processes under memory pressure. Unfortunately free does not seem to take it into account, as mentioned in detail in this older answer of mine, and this part of memory can easily grow to several GB of memory...
If you really want to see how much memory your processes are using you could try going through the cache-emptying procedure described in my post - you can skip the swap-related parts, since your system does not appear to be using any swap memory anyway.
