How about on ARM? Is its branch prediction keeping pace? I'm curious because you can't JIT to native on iOS, so finding the best way to build a VM there is interesting.
- microcolonel 9y ago> Is its branch prediction keeping pace? Well, most ARM cores are not designed by ARM Holdings, and even among their own cores there are many models. The answer to this question depends entirely on the specific design.
- civility 9y agoHow about the chip in any recent model iPad or iPhone?
- microcolonel 9y agoWho knows, it would be trivial to check if Apple allowed customers to run an operating system of their choice. I don't have the patience to operate one.
- ant6n 9y agoWouldn't the VM violate the rules even if it's just an interpreter?
- spicyj 9y agoYou're allowed to bundle a custom VM for any language if it only executes code included with the app itself.
