Find bottlenecks, identify the proper algorithm to use, optimize performance, and create really efficient Rust applications

Key Features

  • Understand common performance pitfalls and improve the performance of your applications.
  • Get to grips with parallel programming and multithreading with Rust.
  • Learn metaprogramming in Rust.

Book Description

This book teaches you how to optimize the performance of your Rust code so that it is at the same level as languages such as C/C++. You'll understand and fi x common pitfalls, learn how to improve your productivity by using metaprogramming, and speed up your code. You will master the features of the language, which will make you stand out, and use them to greatly improve the efficiency of your algorithms. The book begins with an introduction to help you identify bottlenecks when programming in Rust. We highlight common performance pitfalls, along with strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. We move on to mastering Rust's type system, which will enable us to optimize both performance and safety at compile time. You will learn how to effectively manage memory in Rust, mastering the borrow checker. We move on to measuring performance and you will see how this affects the way you write code. Moving forward, you will perform metaprogramming in Rust to boost the performance of your code and your productivity. Finally, you will learn parallel programming in Rust, which enables efficient and faster execution by using multithreading and asynchronous programming.

What you will learn

  • Master tips and tricks to improve performance of your code
  • Learn how to identify bottlenecks in your Rust applications
