Going to be speaking at the Ruby devroom 2016!

I will be speaking this year at the FOSDEM Ruby devroom about the challenges the Ruby+OMR JIT compiler faces, and how they can be surmounted with your help! The abstract is below, or on the FOSDEM website. 

Highly Surmountable Challenges in Ruby+OMR JIT Compilation

The Ruby+OMR JIT compiler adds a JIT to CRuby. However, it has challenges to surmount before it will provide broad improvement to Ruby applications that aren’t micro-benchmarks. This talk will cover some of those challenges, along with some brainstorming about potential ways to tackle them.

The Ruby+OMR JIT compiler is one way to add JIT compilation to the CRuby interpreter. However, it has a number of challenges to surmount before it will provide broad improvement to Ruby applications that aren’t micro-benchmarks. This talk will cover some of those challenges, along with some brainstorming about potential ways to tackle them.

The challenges range from small to large. You can get a sneak peek by looking through the issue tracker for the Ruby+OMR preview.
