The web page doesn't say anything about asm.js - so this is a generic JS JIT that happens to beat V8 in asm.js?
V8 doesn't explicitly support asm.js so it's easier to beat than Firefox.
- sanxiyn 12y agoYes, it is generic.
- cliffbean 12y agoIt is generic, but the graphs on arewefastyet.com suggest that it isn't actually making most regular benchmarks go faster, just some of the asm.js-style ones.
- azakai 12y agoIt makes one or two of the Octane benchmarks faster, like Mandreel. But Mandreel is quasi-asm.js as well. A powerful JIT like LLVM will tend to do best on large long-running benchmarks, like asm.js.
- indolering 12y agoWell, that would make sense as asm.js is just a formalization of what the optimizing compilers were doing with LLVM transpiled JS code: http://mozakai.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-asmjs-is-and-what-asmjs-isnt.html http://mozakai.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-asmjs-is-and-what-a...
