We'll be delivering a tutorial, two talks, plus we'll be +around for the sprints. + +Here are the abstracts for the tutorials and talks: + +* **How to get the most out of your PyPy**: For many applications PyPy can + provide performance benefits right out of the box. However, little details + can push your application to perform much better. In this tutorial we'll give + you insights on how to push PyPy to it's limits. We'll focus on understanding + the performance characteristics of PyPy, and learning the analysis tools in + order to maximize your applications performance. + +* **Why PyPy by example**: One of the goals of PyPy is to make existing Python + code faster, however an even broader goal was to make it possible to write + things in Python that previous would needed to be written in C or other + low-level language. This talk will show examples of this, and describe how + they represent the tremendous progress PyPy has made, and what it means for + people looking to use PyPy. + +* **How the PyPy JIT works**: The Python community is abuzz about the major + speed gains PyPy can offer pure Python code. But how does PyPy JIT actually + work? This talk will discuss how the PyPy JIT is implemented. It will include + descriptions of the tracing, optimization, and assembly generation phases. I + will demonstrate each step with a example loop. + +If you have any questions let us know! We look forward to seeing people at +PyCon and chatting about PyPy and the entire Python ecosystem. + +See you there, +Maciej Fijalkowski, Alex Gaynor, Benjamin Peterson, Armin Rigo, and the entire PyPy team + +.. _`PyCon 2012`: https://us.pycon.org/2012/ _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
