Subject: Serverside Javascript Tracemonkey Performance – Part III
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 08 19:01:21 GMT
As expected the Sunspider ubench Javascript performance tests
on serverside JS 1.6 and JS 1.8 (tracemonkey) run much faster
when on a halfway decent machine. Below you can find the tests
when running on a Xen VM (underlying hardware is some kind of
quad-core machine).
In this case JS1.6 now takes 9.940ms to complete all tests
(a small decrease from the 11s on the UML VM and about double
the 4.1982ms of the browserside testes) while JS1.8tracemonkey
now takes 0.300ms (halving the previous serverside tests at the
UML VM and coming close to the 185ms on the browserside tests.
Huge difference, now around a +-30X increase!
If someone wants to and can run these tests in a bare metal
Linux machine and needs the files, let me know. The browserside
tests made by Brendan Eich dont mention the hardware used to run
the tests but I would like to see some serverside tests in a
decent machine which I’m sure would beat the browserside times.
