* ensure that all const assignments are placed at the end of the sequence.
This minimises live ranges.
* for the non-const assignments, ignore self-assignments. This can
dramatically reduce the total number of moves generated, because any
self-assignments trigger the overlap-case handling, hence invoking the
double-copy behaviour in cases where it's not necessary.
It's worth pointing out that self-assignments are common, and are not due to
deficiencies in CLIR optimisation. Rather, they occur whenever a loop back
edge doesn't modify *all* loop-carried values. This can easily happen if
the loop has multiple "early" back-edges -- "continues" in C parlance. Eg:
loop_header(a, b, c, d, e, f):
...
a_new = ...
b_new = ...
if (..) goto loop_header(a_new, b_new, c, d, e, f)
...
c_new = ...
d_new = ...
if (..) goto loop_header(a_new, b_new, c_new, d_new, e, f)
etc
For functions with many live values, this can dramatically reduce the number
of spill moves we throw into the register allocator.
In terms of compilation costs, this ranges from neutral for functions which
spill not at all, or minimally (joey_small, joey_med) to a 7.1% reduction in
insn count.
In terms of run costs, for one spill-heavy test (bz2 w/ custom timing harness),
instruction counts are reduced by 4.3%, data reads by 12.3% and data writes
by 18.5%. Note those last two figures include all reads and writes made by the
generated code, not just spills/reloads, so the proportional reduction in
spill/reload traffic must be greater.
wasmtime
A standalone runtime for WebAssembly
A Bytecode Alliance project
Guide | Contributing | Website | Chat
Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS with a small install script:
$ curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
Windows or otherwise interested users can download installers and binaries directly from the GitHub Releases page.
Example
If you've got the Rust compiler installed then you can take some Rust source code:
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
and compile/run it with:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi
$ rustc hello.rs --target wasm32-wasi
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello, world!
Features
-
Lightweight. Wasmtime is a standalone runtime for WebAssembly that scales with your needs. It fits on tiny chips as well as makes use of huge servers. Wasmtime can be embedded into almost any application too.
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code at runtime.
-
Configurable. Whether you need to precompile your wasm ahead of time, generate code blazingly fast with Lightbeam, or interpret it at runtime, Wasmtime has you covered for all your wasm-executing needs.
-
WASI. Wasmtime supports a rich set of APIs for interacting with the host environment through the WASI standard.
-
Standards Compliant. Wasmtime passes the official WebAssembly test suite, implements the official C API of wasm, and implements future proposals to WebAssembly as well. Wasmtime developers are intimately engaged with the WebAssembly standards process all along the way too.
Language Support
You can use Wasmtime from a variety of different languages through embeddings of the implementation:
- Rust - the
wasmtimecrate - C - the
wasm.h,wasi.h, andwasmtime.hheaders - Python - the
wasmtimePyPI package - .NET - the
WasmtimeNuGet package - Go - the wasmtime-go repository
