  • optcarrot

    A NES emulator written in Ruby

    • For context the explicit stated goal as far as Ruby core is concerned is that https://github.com/mame/optcarrot/ will be 3x faster. This benchmark emulates NES in a headless environment and sees how many FPS it can generate. Which is a CPU heavy benchmark.

  • Smalltalk

    Parser, code model, interpreter and navigable browser for the original Xerox Smalltalk-80 v2 sources and virtual image file (by rochus-keller)

    • I have experience with my own performance measurements of the Smalltalk-80 VM (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk) which I used to benchmark LuaJIT against C++. Just changing the execution order or queue logic can easily make a factor 10 difference. If you make changes to the benchmark in parallel with changes to the compiler/VM you can never be sure what exactly caused the speed-up/down. That's why I think an "objective" benchmark (i.e. written by other people and kept stable) is more useful.
