Time Zone

The program is currently displayed in (GMT+02:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna.

The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

Writing JIT compilers for dynamic languages by hand is an arduous and heroic process, particularly for dynamic languages with “interesting” semantics. Meta-tracing is an approach for reducing that effort; VM authors only write an interpreter and some hints. In this hands-on session students will implement a small dynamic language from scratch as well as a JITusing the RPython meta-tracing language that underlies the PyPy project.
