The licenses for the -individual benchmarks are included in the JavaScript files. - -In addition to the benchmarks, the suite consists of the benchmark -framework (base.js), which must be loaded before any of the individual -benchmark files, and two benchmark runners: An HTML version (run.html) -and a standalone JavaScript version (run.js). - - -Changes From Version 1 To Version 2 -=================================== - -For version 2 the crypto benchmark was fixed. Previously, the -decryption stage was given plaintext as input, which resulted in an -error. Now, the decryption stage is given the output of the -encryption stage as input. The result is checked against the original -plaintext. For this to give the correct results the crypto objects -are reset for each iteration of the benchmark. In addition, the size -of the plain text has been increased a little and the use of -Math.random() and new Date() to build an RNG pool has been removed. - -Other benchmarks were fixed to do elementary verification of the -results of their calculations. This is to avoid accidentally -obtaining scores that are the result of an incorrect JavaScript engine -optimization. - - -Changes From Version 2 To Version 3 -=================================== - -Version 3 adds a new benchmark, RegExp. The RegExp benchmark is -generated by loading 50 of the most popular pages on the web and -logging all regexp operations performed. Each operation is given a -weight that is calculated from an estimate of the popularity of the -pages where it occurs and the number of times it is executed while -loading each page. Finally the literal letters in the data are -encoded using ROT13 in a way that does not affect how the regexps -match their input. - - -Changes from Version 3 to Version 4 -=================================== - -The Splay benchmark is a newcomer in version 4. It manipulates a -splay tree by adding and removing data nodes, thus exercising the -memory management subsystem of the JavaScript engine. - -Furthermore, all the unused parts of the Prototype library were -removed from the RayTrace benchmark. This does not affect the running -of the benchmark. - - -Changes from Version 4 to Version 5 -=================================== - -Removed duplicate line in random seed code, and changed the name of -the Object.prototype.inherits function in the DeltaBlue benchmark to -inheritsFrom to avoid name clashes when running in Chromium with -extensions enabled. - - -Changes from Version 5 to Version 6 -=================================== - -Removed dead code from the RayTrace benchmark and fixed a couple of -typos in the DeltaBlue implementation. Changed the Splay benchmark to -avoid converting the same numeric key to a string over and over again -and to avoid inserting and removing the same element repeatedly thus -increasing pressure on the memory subsystem. Changed the RegExp -benchmark to exercise the regular expression engine on different -input strings. - -Furthermore, the benchmark runner was changed to run the benchmarks -for at least a few times to stabilize the reported numbers on slower -machines. - - -Changes from Version 6 to Version 7 -=================================== - -Added the Navier-Stokes benchmark, a 2D differential equation solver -that stresses arithmetic computations on double arrays. |
