Mar 2, 2015 · To enable more optimizations, BEAM files compiled with OTP 21 and earlier cannot be loaded in OTP 25. The signal queue of a process with the process flag message_queue_data=off_heap has been optimized to allow parallel reception of signals from multiple processes. This can improve performance when many processes are …

Mar 4, 2017 · The BeamAsm JIT-compiler has been added to Erlang/OTP and will give a significant performance boost for many applications. The JIT-compiler is enabled by default on most x86 64-bit platforms that have a C++ compiler that can compile C++17. To verify that a JIT enabled emulator is running you can use erlang:system_info(emu_flavor).

Getting Started - Erlang
4 Getting Started 4.1 How long does it take to learn Erlang? It depends. (did you expect anything else?) With an imperative language background (e.g. C, Python, Java, C++, Pascal, PERL, etc.), it takes most people about a week before they can write nontrivial programs, about a month to feel really comfortable and a few months before feeling ready to take on something big by themselves. It ...
A brief introduction to BEAM - Erlang/OTP
October 20, 2020 · by John Högberg. This post is a brief primer on BEAM, the virtual machine that executes user code in the Erlang Runtime System (ERTS). It’s intended to help those new to BEAM follow an upcoming series of posts about the JIT in OTP 24, leaving implementation details for later. BEAM is often confused with ERTS and it’s ...
