Genetic Algorithms in Elixir: Error in task script from ch11 page 180 ebook version 1.0.2
After running a while the benchee test I got the following error: no function clause matching in Task.async/1
I wrote a script with async/3 which works on Elixir 1.17.3-otp27.
defmodule Pmap do
def pmap(collection,func) do
collection
|> Enum.map(&Task.async(Pmap, func, [&1]))
|> Enum.map(&Task.await(&1))
end
def expensive(x) do
x = x * x
:timer.sleep(1000)
x
end
def inexpensive(x) do
x * x
end
end
data = for x <- 1..100, do: x
Benchee.run(
%{
"pmap, expensive" => fn -> Pmap.pmap(data, :expensive) end,
"pmap, inexpensive" => fn -> Pmap.pmap(data, :inexpensive) end,
"map, expensive" => fn -> Enum.map(data, &(Pmap.expensive(&1))) end,
"map, inexpensive" => fn -> Enum.map(data, &(Pmap.inexpensive(&1))) end
},
memory_time: 2
