A NOVEL APPROACH FOR BOOSTING PERFORMANCE OF JAVASCRIPT ENGINE FOR WEB APPLICATIONS
Abstract
JavaScript is the most widespread language for Web programming. And, literally, it is vital for Web 2.0. With the development of Web 2.0, JavaScript engines experience increasingly large performance-related challenges. The ability to boost JavaScript performance becomes the crucial point for complete replacement of desktop applications in some cases. We propose the novel approach for dramatic performance improvement of Web applications by introducing snapshot of compiled code, profile and type feedback for fast startup and ahead-of-time optimisations.
