Ruby on Ice 2019: Parallel and Thread-Safe Ruby at High-Speed with TruffleRuby by Benoit Daloze
Channel: Ruby on Ice
Date: 2019-04-02

Array and Hash are used in every Ruby program, but current implementations either prevent to use them in parallel (MRI) or lack thread-safety guarantees (JRuby raises on concurrent Array#«). We show how to make Array and Hash thread-safe while allowing Ruby collections to scale up to tens of cores!
