About Google V8
V8 is Google’s open source high-performance JavaScript engine, written in C++ and used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google, and in Node.js, among others. It implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262, and runs on Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.5+, and Linux systems that use IA-32, ARM, or MIPS processors. V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application. Copyright Google Developers
Besides his academic work, and his side personal projects , Meurer drives highly anticipated programs like Ignition and TurboFan that allow engineers to get greater performance out of their infrastructure.
Ignition, V8s Interpreter, and Turbofan, the optimizing compiler, result in measurable performance improvements and memory savings for state of the art JavaScript applications. It is possible to increase performance by 5%-10%, as seen in this case study
Benedikt Meurer is often referred to as a “JavaScript Engine Hacker” and a “Programming Language Enthusiast” because that is exactly what he is! In his professional life, as the Engineer Team Leader at Googles V8, Benedikt is fully dedicated to adding that single bit of performance.
