Well I saw a couple times where parallelism could have been very useful. Something like: {SolveSudoku ⍵}⍤2 ⊣ Cube_of_9x9x1000_sudoku {SolveSudoku ⍵}¨ big_array_of_enclosed_9x9_sudoku but I don't want ⍤ (rank operator) or ¨ (foreach) operators doing parallelism per default, so I tho

Of course. Simple scalar functions would be the worst to parallelize. We always need a large amount of operations per thread to be worthwhile. Something like the following might be a good thing to start ⌹⍤2 X where (LargeNumber = ×/¯2↓⍴X) ∧ 2<⍴⍴X To support general function instead of builtins

Hi, maybe, maybe not. Our earlier measurements on an 80-core machine indicated that the way how the cores connect to the memories seems to determine the parallel performance that can be achieved in GNU APL. One can easily prove tha

Thanks for the explanations. In fact I figured out the problem later while sleeping ... here the new definition of the "df" function with localized working ⎕pw: ∇df;names;func;lambda;⎕pw;t ⎕pw←1 names←((⊂[⎕io+1]⎕nl 3 4)~¨' ')~ ⊂"df" lambda←({'λ'=↑⎕cr ⍵}¨names)/names →(2> ⍴lambda)/nosrtl lam

Hi Xtian, nice functions. Regarding ⎕PW and other system variables: When you localize a system variable in GNU APL then the localized value of the variable is set to the its default value (rather than giving ⎕PW ERROR as in APL2 whe

Hi Louis, so I suppose this was not an issue. BTW if you believe a lambda behaves differently than a defined function then you can check the lambda with *⎕CR*, e.g.: *ADD←{⍺+⍵;C;⎕IO;D}** ** ⎕CR 'ADD'** **λ←⍺ λ1 ⍵;C;⎕IO;D* *λ←⍺+⍵ * Or, in your example: * f←{⍎(⍵>1)⊃'⍵' '⍵×⍙ ⍵-1'⊣⎕IO←0
