    Supporting C Extensions for Dynamic Languages an Abbreviated Version of [10]

    High-Performance Language Composition: Supporting C Extensions for Dynamic Languages An abbreviated version of [10]. Grimmer Matthias1, Chris Seaton2, Thomas W¨urthinger2 and Hanspeter M¨ossenb¨ock1 1 Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria fgrimmer,[email protected] 2 Oracle Labs fchris.seaton,[email protected] Abstract. Many dynamic languages such as Ruby offer functionality for writing parts of applications in a lower-level language such as C. These C extension modules are usually written against the API of an interpreter, which provides access to the higher-level language's internal data struc- tures. Alternative implementations of the high-level languages often do not support such C extensions because implementing the same API as in the original implementations is complicated and limits performance. In this paper we describe a novel approach for modular composition of languages that allows dynamic languages to support C extensions through interpretation. We propose a flexible and reusable cross-language mechanism that allows composing multiple language interpreters. This mechanism allows us to efficiently exchange runtime data across different interpreters and also enables the dynamic compiler of the host VM to inline and optimize programs across multiple language boundaries. We evaluate our approach by composing a Ruby interpreter with a C interpreter. We run existing Ruby C extensions and show how our system executes combined Ruby and C modules on average over 3× faster than the conventional implementation of Ruby with native C extensions. 1 Introduction Most programming languages offer functionality for calling routines in modules that are written in another language. There are multiple reasons why program- mers want to do this, including to run modules already written in another lan- guage, to achieve higher performance than is normally possible in the primary language, or generally to allow different parts of the system to be written in the most appropriate language.

    Optimizing Ruby on Rails for Performance and Scalability

    DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE 120 CREDITS, SECOND CYCLE STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2016 Optimizing Ruby on Rails for performance and scalability KIM PERSSON KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND COMMUNICATION Optimizing Ruby on Rails for performance and scalability Optimering av Ruby on Rails för prestanda och skalbarhet KIM PERSSON [email protected] Degree project in Computer Science Master’s Programme Computer Science Supervisor: Stefano Markidis Examiner: Jens Lagergren Employer: Slagkryssaren AB February 2016 Abstract Web applications are becoming more and more popular as the bound- aries of what can be done in a browser are pushed forward. Ruby on Rails is a very popular web application framework for the Ruby pro- gramming language. Ruby on Rails allows for rapid prototyping and development of web applications but it suffers from performance prob- lems with large scale applications. This thesis focuses on optimization of a Ruby on Rails application to improve its performance. We performed three optimizations to a benchmark application that was developed for this project. First, we removed unnecessary modules from Ruby on Rails and optimized the database interaction with Active Record which is the default object re- lational mapping (ORM) in Ruby on Rails. It allows us to fetch and store models in the database without having to write database specific query code. These optimizations resulted in up to 36% decrease in ap- plication response time. Second, we implemented a caching mechanism for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) representation of models in the optimized application. This second optimization resulted in a total of 96% response time decrease for one of the benchmarks.
