Shipit! Presents: YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler for CRuby

YJIT is a project to gradually build a JIT compiler inside CRuby such that more and more of the code is executed by the JIT, which will eventually replace the interpreter for most of the execution. The compiler, which is soon to become officially part of CRuby in the Ruby 3.1 release at Christmas, is based on Basic Block Versioning (BBV), a JIT compiler architecture Maxime started developing during her PhD.

Maxime will give a brief overview of the project and Noah will share a practical applied demonstration of how to install and use YJIT.

Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert

Staff Engineer, Shopify

Maxime obtained a PhD in compiler design at the University of Montreal in 2016, where she developed Basic Block Versioning (BBV), a JIT compiler architecture optimized for dynamically-typed programming languages. She is currently leading a project at Shopify to build YJIT, a new JIT compiler built inside CRuby.

Noah Gibbs

Noah wrote the ebook Rebuilding Rails and then a lot about how fast Ruby is at various tasks. Despite being a grumpy old programmer in Inverness, Scotland, Noah believes that some day, somehow, there will be a second game as good as Stuart Smith’s Adventure Construction Set for the Apple IIe.
