whippet at fosdem
Hey all, the video of my FOSDEM talk on Whippet is up:
Slides here, if that’s your thing.
I ended the talk with some puzzling results around generational collection, which prompted yesterday’s post. I don’t have a firm answer yet. Or rather, perhaps for the splay benchmark, it is to be expected that a generational GC is not great; but there are other benchmarks that also show suboptimal throughput in generational configurations. Surely it is some tuning issue; I’ll be looking into it.
Happy hacking!

Is there a mirror of the video? This one pauses to buffer a few times per second for me

They probably should have provided lower bitrate transcodings :)
