Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) for Rust Applications - A Practical Guide

Explore Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) techniques for Rust applications in this 53-minute conference talk from RustLab. Gain practical insights into implementing PGO, a compiler optimization technique that enhances software performance using runtime statistics. Learn to identify and mitigate common PGO implementation challenges, discover various integration approaches across the Rust ecosystem, and understand how PGO is utilized in different open-source projects. Examine integration strategies at multiple levels including projects, build scripts, and distributions, while gathering valuable advice for optimizing your own software. Master the practical application of PGO through real-world examples spanning compilers, databases, log solutions, and CLI tools, enabling you to effectively implement these optimization techniques in your Rust applications.
