https://vimeo.com/162850953 The purpose of this research is to give a clear overview of how modern Javascript engines run, comparison between the different engines and a quick guide on writing well-performing code. This research analyses the Javascript engines - Chrome V8 [1], Microsoft Chakra [2] and Microsoft Chakra Core [3], and put in practices to ensure that these engines can easily profile and optimize the codes you have written, allowing better performance. Test Platform Specifications Operating System: Windows Server 2016 Technical...
