DESCRIPTION:Our next get together will be in May with David Stewart from 
 Intel! He is joining us to talk about &quot\;doubling performance in Swi
 ft with no code changes&quot\;&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAll interpreted languages 
 come to the point in their evolution where a radical turn is needed to o
 ptimize performance and a Just In Time (JIT) compilation is the directio
 n they have all turned. We would argue that now is the time for Python. 
 In perhaps an extreme case\, Swift’s performance is greatly affected by 
 the latency of Python’s default  CPython interpreter. Recently Swift thr
 oughput was improved 111% on a 15 node storage cluster and response time
  was boosted 87%. This was achieved by using PyPy\, the JIT version of P
 ython. This talk will describe a proof-of-concept study using PyPy in pr
 oduction with Swift\, offer a roadmap for broad adoption of PyPy in the 
 Python world\, and provide clear steps for implementing PyPy in Swift.&#
 13\;\n&#13\;\nBio: David Stewart is the manager of the Server Language O
 ptimization Team in the Data Center Software Technology group at Intel w
 here he helped launch the effort. David has been an operating systems de
 velopment expert for his whole career\, starting out with Unix in 1980. 
 David serves on various boards including the Yocto Project Advisory Boar
 d and the CE Linux Working Group\, both part of the Linux Foundation. Be
 fore the formation of his current team\, David held a variety of managem
 ent positions in Intel’s Software and Services Group and in Intel’s Desk
 top Boards and Systems division. \n\nTags: openstack devops linux cloud
