Presented by Brian Mitchell.

There are many aspects of the Erlang/OTP/BEAM stack that make it a great way to build applications. Sometimes it's hard to understand how these all play together. In particular, most interesting aspects of how Erlang eventually gets compiled and run on BEAM are left to the imagination. This talk will give a glimpse at what actually happens to your code as it runs through the many layers: compilers, intermediate representations, byte codes, and direct threaded register machines.
