Building the fastest Lua interpreter.. automatically!
It is well-known that writing a good VM for a dynamic language is never an easy job. High-performance interpreters, such as the JavaScript interpreter in Safari, or the Lua interpreter in LuaJIT, are
Hasnain says:
This was a really interesting technical read.
“In this post, we demonstrated how we built the fastest interpreter for Lua (to date) through a novel meta-compiler framework.
However, automatically generating the fastest Lua interpreter is only the beginning of our story. LuaJIT Remake is designed to be a multi-tier method-based JIT compiler generated by the Deegen framework, and we will generate the baseline JIT, the optimizing JIT, the tiering-up/OSR-exit logic, and even a fourth-tier heavyweight optimizing JIT in the future.”
