Hi everyone!
I’m Leonardo Bianconi from Eldorado (Brazil).
I’m using Ruby in ppc64 machines and I’ve found an improvement for this
platform. Running the Computer Language Benchmarks Game, I got 7.5% time
reduction in total. Some individual benchmarks, like “binnarytrees” were
improved in more than 14%.
This is my change for the improvement:
Feature #9997: Specifying non volatile registers for increase performence in ppc64 - Ruby master - Ruby Issue Tracking System.
This is my first contact with the community, so let me know if I’m
missing something.
Best regards,
Leornardo Bianconi

So the legend of Eldorado is true 
Wow, that’s a pretty cool result. I was wondering, though, why the
benchmark PDF says JRuby instead of Ruby.
Would be very nice if the legend was true =)
It says JRuby because the computer language benchmark games has the
files with the extension “.jruby” and I didn’t changed it. As it uses
the extension to create the report, it says JRuby for the language. The
scripts are the same for JRuby and Ruby, so don’t worry, they were
executed in ruby, since the “.ini” file was configured for that.
Well, well… my bad!
Link was already posted!!!
