newLISP in a browser

[HPW]

Hello,

Another test on an aged WIN 1o Laptop

Core 2 duo P8400 2.26 Ghz 4GB
Windows 10 Pro 1703 32bit

Edga 40 JS

>>>>> total time: 3759
>>>>> Performance ratio: 6.32 (1.0 on MacOSX 10.9, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, newLISP v10.6.0-64-bit)

Edge 40 WA with enabled experimental javascript

ERR: regular expression in function find-all : "error -4 when executing"
called from user function QA:(qa)
called from user function (module "qa-bench")

So we see that WebAssembly is not yet everywhere. Best performance boost on chrome.

Hello,

Another note for WIN XP:

Neither Chrome 49 or Firefox ESR 52.2.0 work with WebAssembly.
But the JS-flavour works.

Hi,

i've now als run some test on my iPad Pro, running beta of IOS 11 and also Safari 11 which should be able to run web assembly, results below:

With javascript:
>>>> total time: 3139
>>>>> Performance ratio: 5.31 (1.0 on MacOSX 10.9, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, newLISP v10.6.0-64-bit)

With web-assembly:
>>>>> total time: 1633
>>>>> Performance ratio: 2.86 (1.0 on MacOSX 10.9, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, newLISP v10.6.0-64-bit)

So almost twice as fast with web assembly.

Hello,

Also news on Edge compatibility:

On the WIN 10 laptop with latest updates and Edge 41

(module "qa-bench")

With javascript:
http://ferrydb.nl/newlisp/

>>>>> total time: 3550
>>>>> Performance ratio: 5.98 (1.0 on MacOSX 10.9, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, newLISP v10.6.0-64-bit)

With web-assembly:
http://ferrydb.nl/newlisp-wa/

>>>>> total time: 3968
>>>>> Performance ratio: 6.66 (1.0 on MacOSX 10.9, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, newLISP v10.6.0-64-bit)

Note: the only browser where web-assembly is slower than javascript.
But it works now with wa. A little faster in javascript than the last test.

Hello,

In last test with Google Chrome 67 I noticed that WA is now about 8x slower than JS.
In current Firefox WA is still faster than JS.

I also test a chromium based broser which shows similar Performance like Chrome. Also slow WA.

I wonder if it could be a problem with the used emscripten version.

Latest emscripten: Emscripten: 1.38.4 (June 02, 2018)

Hello,

Did a bug report about chromes webassembly speed:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... ?id=849098

Regards

[HPW]

Hello,

Seems that they found the bug. Waiting for the fix.

Regards

[HPW]

Hello,

Chrome Version 68.0.3440.75 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit) is back on full speed with webassembly.

Firefox 61.0.1 (64-Bit) still a bit faster.

Hello Lutz,

In the index.html is some code to Show a progressbar for downloading.
I was wondering that it never Show up. Only the Status text changed.

Code: Select all

       if (!Module.setStatus.last) Module.setStatus.last = { time: Date.now(), text: '' };
          if (text === Module.setStatus.text) return;
          var m = text.match(/([^(]+)\((\d+(\.\d+)?)\/(\d+)\)/);
            alert (text);
            alert (m);

The m variable keeps always null so the later if gets never true.

Regards

[Lutz]

The original index.html was taken from some other application dealing with compiled JavaScript. This is probably some left-over unused or only partly used code.

Hello,

Latest obserations with chrome 72:

http://www.ferrydb.nl/newlisp/
http://www.ferrydb.nl/newlisp-wa/

For both url's chrome 72 shows a warning sign in front of the url "Nicht sicher" (german for not secure)
Performance seems slower on both than older versions.
Not nice.

[HPW]

Hello,

Oops, nothing special with Chrome and newlisp in the browser.
The "Not secure" Display is for every Non-https site.
