| | [AI summary] The article discusses the development of an Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler for JavaScript, leveraging precompiled inline-cache (IC) stubs. By moving runtime type binding to indirect calls, the compiler can generate static code, enabling full AOT compilation. This approach achieves significant performance improvements, with a 2.77x geometric mean speedup on various benchmarks. The article also explores further optimizations through profile-guided inlining, and compares this method with other AOT approaches like Hopc's type inference. The potential for future enhancements and the use of compiler backends derived from interpreters are also highlighted.

| The race for AI dominance isn't just about who has the most computing - it's increasingly about who can use it most efficiently. With the recent emergence of DeepSeek and other competitors in the AI space, even well-funded companies are discovering that raw computational power isn't enough. The ability to squeeze maximum performance out of hardware through low-level optimization is becoming a crucial differentiator. One powerful tool in this optimization arsenal is the ability to work directly with PTX, NVIDIA's low-level Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). However, PTX instructions are quite different from those for traditional CPU assembly. PTX Intermediate Representations (IR) live between high-level languages like CUDA and the actual hardware-specific St...
