🦀rustby🐝 - Build with Ruby - Sting with Rust

🦀rustby🐝

💎 Ruby containing Rust 🦀 (thx. to rutie)

GH Project

Ruby for Development -> Rust for Speed

intro

• Build in Ruby
  • maintain all functionality in Ruby
• Optimize in Rust

  • translate performance sensitive operations into Rust

  • compare Ruby and Rust performance using Benchmarker

    

• Fallback on Ruby

  • worst case, it's Ruby

  • wrap your Rust code in a default Ruby implimentation using Fallbacker

    

to run:

• tour
  • rake main
  • rake primes:demo:benchmark {limit} {count}
  • rake primes:demo:fallback {limit} {count}
• compute primes
  • rake primes:ruby {limit}
  • rake primes:rust {limit}
• run tests
  • rake spec:run
    • runs rspec and cargo test
    • builds Rust code before running rspec

Primes

• 🦀rustby🐝 made use of Primes as the example module around which to build
• it contains two modules to compute primes
  • Primes::Alg::SieveOfAtkin and Primes::Alg::Naive
  • Each module computes primes using a different algorithm
    • each algorithm is provided in both Ruby and Rust via a computational class:
      • Primes::Alg::SieveOfAtkin::Ruby
      • Primes::Alg::SieveOfAtkin::Rust
      • Primes::Alg::Naive::Ruby
      • Primes::Alg::Naive::Rust
    • while overkill for computing primes, this demonstrates the nesting pattern:
      • MyComputationalModule
        • MyComputationalModule::Ruby
        • MyComputationalModule::Rust
• args
  • {limit} - 💎Integer, 🦀u64
    • compute all primes less than or equal to
    • increase to stress test memory usage
  • {count} - 💎Integer, 🦀u64
    • run the computation this many times
    • increase to stress test computation speed
  • {alg_str} - 💎String
    • select algorithm for computation
    • can be:
      • sieve_of_atkin, soa, s
      • naive, n

demo 🦀rustby🐝 using primes

• rake primes:demo:benchmark
• rake primes:demo:fallback

compute using 💎ruby

• rake primes:ruby {limit} {alg_str}
• rake primes:ruby:sieve_of_atkin {limit}
• rake primes:ruby:naive {limit}

compute using 🦀rust

• rake primes:rust {limit} {alg_str}
• rake primes:rust:sieve_of_atkin {limit}
• rake primes:rust:naive {limit}

benchmark performance: 💎ruby vs. 🦀rust

• rake primes:benchmark {limit} {count}
• rake primes:benchmark:sieve_of_atkin {limit} {count}
• rake primes:benchmark:naive {limit} {count}
