  • Debugging Ruby: Understanding and Troubleshooting the VM and your Application
    Submitted by: tmm1
    10 people liked this proposal.

    Ruby might be slow, but bad code only makes it worse. This talk will teach you how to use powerful tools to see how your code is executed, so you can understand, debug and optimize it. The talk will cover techniques that can be used to troubleshoot production ruby deployments from three perspectives: the operating system and process, the C code VM, and the Ruby code in application itself. Each tool will be presented with a variety of real-world examples of how it was used to solve problems in a popular library or application.

  • Garbage Collection and the Ruby Heap
    Submitted by: tmm1
    10 people liked this proposal.

    Everything in Ruby is an object.. but what is a ruby object? What does it look like? Where does it live? How is it born and when does it die?

    This talk will cover the implementation of the object heap and garbage collector in Ruby 1.8, with a focus on tools and techniques to understand memory usage, find reference leaks, and improve the performance of your ruby applications.
