- Description about the talk
- YJIT, an open source project led by a small team of developers at Shopify to incrementally build a new JIT compiler inside CRuby. Key advantages are that our compiler delivers very fast warm up, and we have complete, fine-grained control over the entire code generation pipeline. In this talk, I present the approach we are taking to implement YJIT and discuss early performance results. The talk will conclude with a discussion of what steps can be taken to unlock higher levels of performance for all JIT compilers built inside CRuby, be it YJIT, MJIT or any future JIT compiler efforts.
