Historical interlude

MRI RUBY

yukihiro MATZ matsumoto

Matz's ruby interpreter

most used ruby

defines what ruby is

MRI ≤ 1.8

simple ast interpreter

simple mark'n'sweep GC

GIL

MRI 1.9

yarv bytecode interpreter

zendesk: “2-3× faster”

BY KOICHI SASADA

MRI 2.1

Rgengc generational gc

BY KOICHI SASADA

MRI 2.2

incremental+generational GC

BY... KOICHI SASADA

symbols can now be gc'd

“The idea of this symbol GC is invented by Sasada Koichi”

BY... NARIHIRO NAKAMURA

enough history
Let's LOOK FORWARD

MRI 3 ?

optcarrot

ruby 3×3

benchmarks?

MRI 3 ?

status: proposal

ruby guilds

YES, BY KOICHI SASADA, AGAIN!

new concurrency model

group threads in guilds

each guild gets its own gil

comm via message passing

MRI ??

@tenderlove

COMPACTING GC

Separate heaps for classes/modules/...

status: soon...ish?

MRI ??

not KOICHI SASADA this time

deoptimization engine

why deoptimize?

Y U MAKE MY RUBY SLEWERS!?

status: WIP PR

MRI ??

deoptimization is key to performance

nobody redefined integer#+? let's inline

oops someone changed it ⤑ OPTIMIZATION IS UNDONE,
WE STILL COOL

ruby+            

eclipse omr: ibm j9 jVM REUSABLE COMPONENTS

ON TOP OF MRI 2.4

status: tech preview

 rvm soon...?

omr GC

omr jit compiler engine

ibm health center monitoring tools

ruby+            

MRI ??

OMR is not alone...?

another ruby by matz!?

aot compiled to machine code

based off of ruby 1.8
(no rails, no meta)

TARGETS embedded, embeddable and cli apps

jruby

status: over 9000

aka “better performance and true parallelism, today”

Ruby using java vm

status: used IN PRODUCTION

jruby

faster than mri

NO gil

java gc miles ahead of ruby gc (sorry koichi-senpai!)

jruby

use ruby
webservers

call java/scala/clojure
kotlin/JAVASCRIPT code

jruby

can use java webservers (hello netty!)

SINGLE .JAR/.WAR FILE APPLICATION DEPLOY

BETTER MEMORY VISUALIZATION

LIVE ALLOCATION, DUMPING

THREAD utilization and state

SAMPLING PROFILERS

jruby ?

deoptimization

graal compiler

ruby 2.4

jmeh?

SLOW STARTUP: use --dev

no c extensions (FFI WORKS)

NO gil

memory harder to tune

truffleruby

new (2013) ruby on the do; end

aka
“ruby world DOMINATION ENGINE”

speculative optimization

previously known as jruby+truffle

uses truffle java framework

REMEMBER OPTCARROT?

Optcarrot results by Benoit Daloze (@eregontp)
https://eregon.me/blog/2016/11/28/optcarrot.html

REMEMBER OPTCARROT?

truffleruby

status:

100% ruby lang specs

≥ 96% active* gems

truffleruby

status:

no c extensions

no java/jruby extensions

java 9 “early access” builds

truffleruby ?

c extensions via “sulong”

jruby/java extensions

substratevm

(ruby) world domination

2017
will shine
like a ruby
