TraceMonkey - super-performance javascript
Hurrah! A new, fantastically fast, improvement to the JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey) in Mozilla has been published.
The codename of this creation is TraceMonkey.
This engine uses the
TraceMonkey Test Results
The speed difference is very noticeable.
Used tests:
- SunSpider, 1.83x faster (Created by WebKit)
- SunSpider ubench, 22.5x faster (Created by the WebKit team to test Squirrelfish)
- Image Manipulation Demo, 6.46x faster (Dynamically changing the contrast and brightness of an image)
- Matrix Manipulation, 6.26x faster (with the Sylvester JavaScript library)
If you yourself really want to test TraceMonkey, install nightly of Firefox 3.1 , open the about: config settings page, and switch the next parameter to true:
javascript.options.jit.content
TraceMonkey is still a crude, but promising project that will enable you to create more complex web applications that will function on most computers.
Also, the fact that his code works on x86, x86-64, and ARM cannot but rejoice, which allows him to work not only on desktop computers, but also on many mobile devices.
I apologize that the review was small and poorly understood, just technical English is still complicated for me.
