This video was recorded at Code BEAM STO 19 http://bit.ly/2W2vgDC Get involved in Code Sync's next conference http://bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- USELESS PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATIONS ON THE BEAM FOR FUN AND... FUN? by Daniel Szoboszlay THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: BEAM Assembly Hand-optimisation TALK LEVEL: Intermediate ABSTRACT The race between Man and Machine for writing The Fastest Code is on since the first compiler has been invented. Now, I'm afraid when it comes to targeting x64, our chances of beating the Machine are negligible. But maybe with the BEAM we still hold a chance? Let's dig into BEAM assembly and find out whether we can show erlc a lesson or two! Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/daniel-szoboszlay/ --- THE SPEAKER - DANIEL SZOBOSZLAY Lead Engineer at Klarna Dániel fell in love with Erlang a decade ago, working for Ericsson in Budapest. After his project got outsourced to India he tried himself as a consultant. Unfortunately, it turned out that kicking off many projects but hardly ever seeing them finish is not everyone’s dream job, and working for short periods of time in far away places is not everyone’s wife’s dream scenario either. So he moved to Stockholm to join Klarna, and ever since he’s happily tweaking a big and old system for scalability and stability.
