BLOG: zenprofile (& berkeley) & zenoptimize
Ryan Davis
I've recently written two (three) blog entries, focusing on a new set
of tools I'm experimenting with.
The first is zenprofile, which is Yet Another Profiler that tries to
strike a balance between code readability and speed (8 times faster
than the native profiler yet almost 4 times smaller than Shugo's
profiler).
The second is zenoptimizer, which binds ruby2c, rubyinline, and a
lightweight version of zenprofile together to create an experimental
profiler with startling results (5x faster!).
While I don't have code to show _quite_yet_, I'm close to having
everything packaged up and ready for release. It'll also require me to
put out new versions of RubyInline, ParseTree, and ruby2c. What I would
like is to get more eyeballs on all of these things and hopefully a
very creative dialog will result from all of this. So, please, take a
look and let me know what you think. Thanks!
P.S. I'm in Berkeley for the weekend... anyone in the
Berkeley/Oakland/SF area??

seems that the second assumption is true. This looks intriguing, but
there really is not much to discuss at the time. Perhaps you could
release a preview?

Well, they are both true really, since it only optimizes stuff that it
has been profiled to run a lot.

I'm working on packaging up the optimizer, the profiler, and many other
toys into a single package and get it out soon... still, I don't think
"there really is not much to discuss at the time" is true.
