  1. Use C to Tune Your Rails Application by Jared Richardson Pragmatic author, process consultant, rails developer, and speaker

  2. Why Bother? • Existing Libraries • Legacy Hardware Libraries • Re-write Hot Spots

  3. Three Parts • Ruby C Extensions • InlineRuby • Rails and C

  4. Tools We’ll Use • ruby • rails • gcc • mkmf • Ruby Inline

  5. Ruby C Extension • Fairly easy • Use a few conventions • Can even share variables

  6. What We Need • C code • Make file • Ruby code

  7. C Code #include "ruby.h" static VALUE cSampleC; static VALUE exec_me(VALUE self) { printf("\n\n exec_me, written in C, run from Ruby! \n\n"); return Qnil; } void Init_SampleC() { cSampleC = rb_define_class("SampleC", rb_cObject); rb_define_method(cSampleC, "exec", exec, 0); }

  8. C Code #include "ruby.h" static VALUE cSampleC; static VALUE exec_me(VALUE self) { printf("\n\n exec_me, written in C, run from Ruby! \n\n"); return Qnil; } void Init_SampleC() { cSampleC = rb_define_class("SampleC", rb_cObject); rb_define_method(cSampleC, "exec", exec, 0); }

  9. C Code #include "ruby.h" static VALUE cSampleC; static VALUE exec_me(VALUE self) { printf("\n\n exec_me, written in C, run from Ruby! \n\n"); return Qnil; } void Init_SampleC() { cSampleC = rb_define_class("SampleC", rb_cObject); rb_define_method(cSampleC, "exec", exec, 0); }

  10. C Code #include "ruby.h" static VALUE cSampleC; static VALUE exec_me(VALUE self) { printf("\n\n exec_me, written in C, run from Ruby! \n\n"); return Qnil; } void Init_SampleC() { cSampleC = rb_define_class("SampleC", rb_cObject); rb_define_method(cSampleC, "exec", exec, 0); }

  11. C Code #include "ruby.h" static VALUE cSampleC; static VALUE exec_me(VALUE self) { printf("\n\n exec_me, written in C, run from Ruby! \n\n"); return Qnil; } void Init_SampleC() { cSampleC = rb_define_class("SampleC", rb_cObject); rb_define_method(cSampleC, "exec_me", exec_me, 0); }

  12. extconf.rb require 'mkmf'create_makefile("SampleC") To create your Makefile… ruby -r mkmf extconf.rb

  13. Practical Tip • If mkmf isn't installed, you'll see "ruby: no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)" • "sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev"

  14. Ruby Code require "SampleC“ handle = SampleC.new handle.exec_me

  15. Converting C to Ruby Objects • INT2NUM(int) => Fixnum • INT2NUM(long) => Fixnum • CHR2FIX(char) => Fixnum • rb_str_new2(char *) => String • rb_float_new(double) => Float

  16. Ruby Objects to C • int => NUM2INT(Numeric) • long => NUM2LONG(Numeric) • char * => STR2CSTR(String) • double => NUM2DBL(Numeric)

  17. Quick Demo

  18. Inline C • Ruby gem • gem install RubyInline

  19. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  20. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  21. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  22. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  23. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  24. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  25. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end t = RubyToC.new() t.exec_me

  26. Ruby Inline Code require "rubygems" require "inline" class RubyToC inline do |builder| builder.c %Q{ public void exec_me() { printf("Written in C, run from Ruby."); } } end end handle = RubyToC.new() handle.exec_me

  27. That’s the Ruby • What about Rails? • Find the hot spots

  28. Rails Logging Processing MainController#search_students (for 127.0.0.1 at 2007-07-03 15:29:26) [GET] Session ID: b4c3826607bd5ff51f3fa34b45d96c76 Parameters: {"action"=>"search_students", "controller"=>"main"} Student Columns (0.001862) SHOW FIELDS FROM students Student Load (0.000149) SELECT * FROM students WHERE (students.`user_name` = 'jared') LIMIT 1 Student Load (0.000171) SELECT * FROM students WHERE (students.`city` = 'Gotham' AND students.

  31. Quick and Dirty start = Time.now # run code in here … done = Time.now elapsed_time = done - start logger.info("Spent #{elapsed_time} secconds ")

  32. Tuning Algorithm • Watch the log • Find slow controllers • Zero in with timing statements • Convert to C

  33. More on Tuning Rails http://www.rubyinside.com/how-to-profile-your-rails-application-and-make-rails-go-vroom-565.html

  34. Demo • Native Ruby on Rails • Rails with Inline C • Rails with Ruby C Extension

  35. Rails and Ruby Inline • Reloads break Inline • Put code in /lib • Or run in production mode

  36. Rails and C Extensions • Be sure to "make install" • Then require "Sample_C"

  37. Existing C Extensions • Rexml (ruby) vs. libxml (C) • 10x faster
