rayon VS wasmer

Do some operations with .iter() then later use rayon to parallelize. So you can show how easy is to add a dependency and how easy is to parallelize.

rayon: Async CPU runtime for parallelism.

In the quest for more efficient solutions, the ONNX runtime emerged as a beacon of performance. The decision to transition from Typescript to Rust was an unconventional yet pivotal one. Driven by Rust's robust parallel processing capabilities using Rayon and seamless integration with ONNX through the ort crate, Repo-Query unlocked a realm of unparalleled efficiency. The result? A transformation from sluggish processing to, I have to say it, blazing-fast performance.

With a lot of rayon, blood, sweat and tears I finally managed to simulate a million buildings at 60fps :) Feel free to AMA, game is Combine And Conquer

(see https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon/tree/master/src/iter/plumbing)

I did some very basic testing with this crate : https://crates.io/crates/rayon and it seems to work :

Sequentially, generating tree-sitter AST for each file and querying for the links of each file takes around 2.3 seconds. However, I randomly remembered this crate rayon, and I decided to test it. It ended up improving the performance (just by changing 2 lines of code) to 200-300ms by parallelizing the iterators and tree-sitter queries. MAJOR.

Now if you really want to use Rust, you can rewrite only the part that are slowing down your consumer. It's easy by using Py03 and maturin. Maybe also rayon to parallelize.

This is awesome. I'd love to have upstream support in Wasmer ( https://wasmer.io )

WebAssembly is extremely portable. WebAssembly runs on: all major web browsers, V8 runtimes like Node.js, and independent Wasm runtimes like Wasmtime, Lucet, and Wasmer.

Unfortunately cosmopolitan wouldn't work for dockerc. Cosmopolitan works as long as you only use it but container runtimes require additional features. Also containers contain arbitrary executables so not sure how that would work either...

As for WASM, this is already possible using container2wasm[0] and wasmer[1]'s ability to generate static binaries.

I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Just suggested as well Wasmer on Twitter! https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer

Looking forward to seeing the results :)

The Biome team has been incredibly fast on solving the challenge and achieving 95% compatibility with Prettier [1]

Just as a note, as it was not mentioned in the article, Wasmer [2] also participated with a $2,500 bounty to compile Biome to WASIX [3], and it has been awesome to see how their team has been working to achieve this as well... hopefully we'll get Biome running in Wasmer soon!

Keep up the great work!!

It's funny how WebAssembly can help overcome most of the issues mentioned on the blogpost (packaging, configuration, portability) if addressed properly.

That's the main reason Wasmer [1] was created :)

Thanks for the mention to Wasmer.

I'll put here a link in case is useful for future readers: https://wasmer.io/
