RustConf 2019 - Rust for Weld, a High Performance Parallell JIT Compiler by Shoumik Palkar

Weld is an open source Rust project that accelerates data-intensive libraries and frameworks by as much as 100x. It does so by JIT-compiling a custom parallel intermediate representation and optimizing across functions within a single library as well as across different libraries, so developers can write modular code and still get close to bare metal performance without incurring expensive data movement …
