Engineering of the fastest WebAssembly interpreters
A new study examines how to build the quickest WebAssembly interpreters, comparing multiple implementations and identifying key optimizations such as just‑in‑time compilation, efficient memory handling, and reduced instruction dispatch overhead. The authors benchmarked popular runtimes, showing that targeted engineering can cut execution time by up to 30 % while maintaining compatibility with existing WebAssembly standards across diverse workloads.
