Experiments with ruby-processing (processing-2.2.1) and JRubyArt for processing-3.0

Promise for the future of jruby, ruby-processing

It was probably a bit too early when I last looked at tuning ruby processing, because it preceded the processing-2.1 release (now compiled for java 7, which means I can run ruby-processing with java 8). Also since I am looking to the future I will use jruby-9000.dev for future performance tests. The esfera test is good because it is dynamic (you can actually see both compiler and garbage collector kick-in, well thats unless I'm very much mistaken). Here are past results combined with current results using jruby-complete-9000.dev (2 November 2013 snapshot). On continued running current test stabilised at ca 6 fps. What the test doesn't show is elapsed time, because there is actual pause seen when I presume compiler kicks in (and the later lesser dips in performance must be the garbage collector). These are my java args for the test (jdk 7 unless stated)
 java_args.txt
  • None 
  • Args 1.  -XX:+TieredCompilation XX:CompileCommand=dontinline,org.jruby.runtime.invokedynamic.InvokeDynamicSupport::invocationFallback
  • Args 2. -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 XX:CompileCommand=dontinline,org.jruby.runtime.invokedynamic.InvokeDynamicSupport::invocationFallback
  •  Args Java 8 -Xms2048M -Xmx2048M -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=80.

PS: linux users it may also be worth doing the following, one-time exercise, to improve java startup
sudo java -Xshare:dump
