Rubinius - Improving the Rails ecosystem
- 1. Improving the Rails ecosystem The Rubinius Virtual Machine 1
- 2. Thanks EY! 2
- 3. Be thinking of questions
- 4. a_better_ruby == a_better_rails # => true
- 5. Brand new code base
- 6. Write in ruby first. Then C if you have to.
- 7. If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative. Woody Allen
- 8. A work in progrees
- 9. Nov. 3: 1.0 preview End of 07: 1.0
- 11. Help me help you.
- 12. Tell me your pain.
- 14. Memory usage Memory
- 15. • 1.8 garbage collector is simple, but too simple. • Rubinius uses modern techniques to decrease memory usage and increase throughput Memory 15
- 16. The forking problem Memory
- 17. In 1.8... • Start up a mongrel. • Require all your code. • fork() the process. • Watch your memory double. Memory 17
- 18. In Rubinius... • Start up a mongrel. • Require all your code. • fork() the process. • Watch NO change in the memory footprint! Memory 18
- 19. Memory change per additional mongrel instance 1 2 3 4 1.8 rubinius 19
- 21. .rba == .jar .rba == .war Packaging
- 22. • Precompiled code (.rbc) • Meta data about project • RDoc • Assets Packaging 22
- 23. Performance
- 24. Built for change Performance
- 25. Modern Techniques • Inline caching • Pre-compiled code • JIT (eventually) Performance 25
- 26. 3 legged dog turtles space shuttle rubinius Performance 26
- 27. Error reporting
- 28. Normal Backtraces An exception has occurred: User requested termination with Control-C (Interrupt) Backtrace: Readline.readline at kernel/core/readline.rb:52 main.__script__ at lib/bin/sirb.rb:78 main.load at kernel/core/compile.rb:78 main.require at kernel/core/compile.rb:129 Array#each at kernel/core/array.rb:526 Integer(Fixnum)#times at kernel/core/integer.rb:19 Array#each at kernel/core/array.rb:526 main.require at kernel/core/compile.rb:112 Array#each at kernel/core/array.rb:526 Integer(Fixnum)#times at kernel/core/integer.rb:19 Array#each at kernel/core/array.rb:526 main.require at kernel/core/compile.rb:111 main.__script__ at kernel/loader.rb:159 Reporting 28

- 32. Profiling
- 33. In 1.8... • Profiling is instrumented only. • The speed hit is prohibitive for running in production mode Profiling 33
- 34. In Rubinius... • Sampling profiler available always • Has little to no impact on performance Profiling 34
- 35. In my_app.rb require ‘simple_profile’ profile(:profile1) do obj.run_slow_method end shell# rbx profiler --analyze profile1.results Profiling 35
- 36. In environment.rb require ‘simple_profile’ SimpleProfiler.profile_actions SimpleProfiler.profile_views shell# rbx profiler --analyze actions.results shell# rbx profiler --analyze views.results Profiling 36
