Ruby is eating RAM
Agenda • “Winter is coming!” • Garbage Collector • Debug
Tools • Profiling Tools
The Task: Send ~30,000 e-mails
Result Before
How Ruby Works? Physical RAM Process Heap Ruby Heap Ruby
Heap Ruby Object Ruby Object Ruby Object Ruby Object Ruby Object Ruby Object
New Object allocation Free List A L L O C
A T E D F R E E
New Object allocation Free List A L L O C
A T E D
New Object allocation Free List is empty A L L
O C A T E D
New Object allocation Free List is empty – Call GC
A L L O C A T E D
GC Process • GC finds non-reachable objects and adds them
to Free List • If Free List is still empty, another Heap allocated
MRI GC • “Conservative”: any bit pattern could be a
pointer (may produce false positive) • “Stop the world”: no other Ruby code can execute during GC • “Mark & Sweep”: mark all objects in use, than sweep away unmarked objects
More Objects => Longer GC => Slow
In our case – Out of Memory!
How to Debug? • gem "pry-debugger" https://github.com/nixme/pry-debugger • gem "debugger-pry"
https://github.com/pry/debugger-pry
Tools • ObjectSpace.count_objects • GC debug - Enable heap dump
support • gdb.rb (only Linux) Note: memprof works only with Ruby 1.8
ObjectSpace.count_objects
Enable heap dump support to Ruby Install custom patched version
of ruby Usage:
https://github.com/tmm1/gdb.rb Attached to existing process and examine the HEAP
Result After
Profiling Tools • Ruby Benchmark • ruby-prof • perftools.rb (Google
perftools for Ruby)
Benchmark • gem 'benchmark_suite' https://github.com/evanphx/benchmark_suite
ruby-prof gem 'ruby-prof' https://github.com/rdp/ruby-prof
ruby-prof Measurements • process time (RubyProf::PROCESS_TIME) • wall time (RubyProf::WALL_TIME)
• cpu time (RubyProf::CPU_TIME) • object allocations (RubyProf::ALLOCATIONS) • memory usage (RubyProf::MEMORY) • garbage collections runs (RubyProf::GC_RUNS) • garbage collection time (RubyProf::GC_TIME)
perftools.rb https://github.com/tmm1/perftools.rb gem 'rack-perftools_profiler', :require => 'rack/perftools_profiler'
rack-perftools_profiler usage
KCacheGrind
Summary • More Objects => Longer GC => Slow •
Examine your HEAP • Use Tools
