The recent deployment of RIA (Rich Internet Application) is often involved with the complex JavaScript code, which leads to the announcement of high performance JavaScript engines for its efficient execution. And the Sunspider benchmark is being widely used for the performance evaluation of these JavaScript engines. In this paper, we compare the execution methods of three high-performance JavaScript engines, Mozilla TraceMonkey, Google V8, and Apple SquirrelFish Extreme, and measure their performances using the SunSpider benchmark. We also evaluate the pros and cons of each engine, based on its execution method and the code characteristics of the SunSpider benchmarks.

Recently, the internet of things (IoT) has become increasingly attractive in many areas to realize smart worlds. JavaScript has become prevalent for IoT programming because of its familiarity with web programmers. On the other hand, JavaScript does not allow the direct control of IoT hardware due to its language limitation. This paper proposes the IoT software platform for JavaScript programming to resolve the limitation. For proof of concept, the platform based on SpiderMonkey and Raspberry Pi was implemented.
