Summary

Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert introduces adaptive compilation strategies aiming to fulfill the seemingly conflicting goals of producing more optimal machine code while reducing compilation time.

Bio

Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert holds a master's degree from McGill University and is currently pursuing a PhD at Université de Montréal as part of the Dynamic Language Team. Her area of study is compiler design and optimization, with a focus on dynamic programming languages, JIT compilers and type analysis.

About the conference

mloc.js 2014 is a conference for people interested in the future of the language and the platform, the possibilites of JavaScript on the web and on the server side. For people doing or planning to do big JavaScript projects. And for people would like to see how is it possible to improve JavaScript by making it smarter, faster and sexy.

  • JIT compilation

    by Shamal Jayakody,

    Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

    JIT compilation can be applied to a whole program, or can be used for certain capacities, particularly dynamic capacities such as regular expressions. For example, a text editor may compile a regular expression provided at runtime to machine code to allow faster matching – this cannot be done ahead of time, as the data is only provided at run time. Several modern runtime environments rely on JIT compilation for high-speed code execution, most significantly most implementations of Java, together with Microsoft's .NET Framework. Similarly, many regular expression libraries ("regular expression engines") feature JIT compilation of regular expressions, either to bytecode or to machine code.
