Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert obtained a PhD in compiler design at the University of Montreal in 2016, where she developed Basic Block Versioning (BBV), a JIT compiler architecture optimized for dynamically-typed programming languages. She is currently leading a project at Shopify to build YJIT, a new JIT compiler built inside CRuby.

YJIT - Building a new JIT Compiler inside CRuby
YJIT, an open source project led by a small team of developers at Shopify to incrementally build a new JIT compiler inside CRuby. Key advantages are that our compiler delivers very fast warm up, and we have complete, fine-grained control over the entire code generation pipeline. In this talk, I present the approach we are taking to implement YJIT and discuss early performance results. The talk will conclude with a discussion of what steps can be taken to unlock higher levels of performance for all JIT compilers built inside CRuby, be it YJIT, MJIT or any future JIT compiler efforts.
