Crankshaft is a new compilation infrastructure for V8, Google Chrome\'s JavaScript engine. By using aggressive optimizations, Crankshaft dramatically improves the performance of compute-intensive JavaScript applications -- often by more than a factor of two! In this presentation, you will get an insight into how we decide which functionsto optimize and how we gather type-feedback while running your code anduse that to turn the performance-critical parts of your JavaScript programs into efficient native code.

  • Kasper Lund is a software engineer at Google working on V8 -- the JavaScript engine used in Google Chrome. He has more than 10 years of industrial experience in designing and implementing virtual machines and runtime systems and his primary areas of interests and expertise are efficient interpretation, dynamic compilation, and adaptive optimizations.
