Features

• JavaScript Engine Embedding - Provides the core capability of integrating a JavaScript runtime directly into other software applications as a component.
• JavaScript Runtimes - Implements a high-performance JavaScript runtime specifically designed to be embedded as a component within other applications.
• Native Data Marshallers - Provides native data marshalling to convert JavaScript values into portable formats for safe inter-thread communication.
• Shared Memory Buffers - Transports typed arrays via shared memory buffers to allow multiple threads to modify data without copying.
• Shared Memory Transports - Implements zero-copy communication by transferring typed arrays via shared memory buffers across multiple threads.
• Embeddable Scripting Engines - Designed as an embeddable engine that allows JavaScript logic to be integrated directly into a host application.
• Custom Parallel Task Execution - Distributes CPU-intensive workloads into independent units for concurrent execution across multiple worker threads.
• Lock-Free Thread Communication - Transfers data between different execution threads using a dedicated transport mechanism to maintain state across boundaries.
• Cross-Thread Object Synchronization - Transports and synchronizes data objects between different JavaScript threads to maintain consistent state.
• Parallel Workload Distribution - Distributes CPU-intensive computational tasks across multiple worker threads to increase system throughput.
• Runtime Embedding - Integrates the entire JavaScript runtime as a component within a larger native application.
• Shared State Locks - Implements synchronization locks to manage concurrent access to shared JavaScript values in a global store.
• Multi-threaded Execution - Coordinates timing and access between concurrent threads to prevent race conditions and manage execution flow.
• JavaScript Multi-Threading - Provides a multi-threaded runtime that enables JavaScript execution across multiple threads to handle compute-heavy tasks.
• NPM Module Compatibility - Integrates external libraries from the Node ecosystem by implementing a compatible module loading architecture.
• Embedded Runtime Deployment - Enables the deployment of a JavaScript execution environment as an integrated component within other software applications.
• Shared Global Value Stores - Maintains JavaScript values in a shared global space accessible to multiple concurrent execution threads.
• High-Performance and Parallel Computing - Serves as a parallel computation framework for distributing CPU-intensive tasks across multiple processing resources.
• Thread State Synchronization - Communicates state and results between concurrent workers using a shared store to coordinate multi-stage computations.
• Concurrent Shared-Map Access - Saves and fetches marshalled data from a map using locks to manage concurrent access across worker threads.
• Shared Memory Management - Manages shared memory segments and buffers to synchronize state and move data between threads without copying.
• Computational Parallelization - Distributes sub-tasks across multiple JavaScript threads to process data simultaneously and aggregate results.
• Plugin-Extensible Runtimes - Provides a plugin-extensible architecture to customize internal runtime behavior like memory management and logging.
• Native Memory Lifecycle Management - Provides direct control over the allocation and lifecycle of native memory buffers and objects.
• Node.js Runtime Compatibility - Ensures compatibility with the NPM ecosystem by allowing the runtime to load and execute Node.js modules.
• Customizable Backend Interfaces - Provides a pluggable execution environment for custom memory allocation, system logging, and performance metrics collection.
• Pluggable Runtime Internals - Features a pluggable execution environment with customizable interfaces for memory allocation, logging, and metrics.
• Promise-Based Task Orchestration - Distributes recursive operations and CPU-intensive tasks across worker threads using promises to ensure deadlock-free aggregation.
• Pluggable Backends - Offers a pluggable architecture for swapping internal implementations of logging, metrics, and memory allocation.
• Recursive Parallel Distribution - Distributes recursive operations across multiple threads using promises to prevent deadlocks during sub-task completion.
• JavaScript Standards and Style - Multi-threaded JavaScript execution for Node.js.
