Scala Days 2013 / Designing for performance

Please RSVP for instructions on how to join the event.

Description

Scala provides a wide variety of productivity- and correctness-enhancing features, but some of those come at the cost of performance. I will discuss how to design Scala applications to take maximal advantage of Scala's best features while still yielding Java-like performance--or better since you can spend your time thinking and optimizing instead of writing boilerplate! Topics will include how and when to write microbenchmarks, the intrinsic speed of various common library routines, the pitfalls of the first-get-it-working-then-run-the-profiler mode of optimization when performance really matters (and how to let the profiler help you), and patterns to favor when you know a priori or via profiling or benchmarking that performance is critical.
