JavaScript 引擎性能比较之二Google V8

Google V8 如日中天, 凭借 Chrome 和 NodeJS 两款应用, 在开发者中有极好的口碑

先下载 v8 编译生成若干所需的库文件

# 项目主页
https://code.google.com/p/v8/

# 编译安装, 得先安装 gjt, depot_tools , 参见以下链接, 在此略过

# 测试程序 makefile.am如下, 测试环境为 macbook air,  osx 10.10.3, Darwin Kernel Version 14.3.0 , 

V8Test_SOURCES = v8test.cpp 
V8Test_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/third_party/v8 -I$(top_srcdir)/util -pthread -lrt -stdlib=libstdc++ -std=c++11
V8Test_LDFLAGS =  -L/workspace/cpp/v8/xcodebuild/Release -L$(top_srcdir)/util -stdlib=libstdc++ -std=c++11
V8Test_LDADD = -lv8_base -lv8_libbase -lv8_snapshot -lv8_libplatform -licuuc -licui18n -licudata

还是和上一篇一样的 javascript arraysort.js:

function random_str()
{
    var text = "";
    var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";

    for( var i=0; i < 8; i++ )
        text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));

    return text;
}

var array = new Array();
for ( var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) 
{
	array[array.length] = random_str();
}
debug_trace("begin sort and reverse array which length=" + array.length );

array.sort();
array.reverse();

debug_trace("done, first element=" + array[0]+ ", " + "last element=" + array[array.length-1] );

现在由 V8 来执行, 看看测试结果如何

废话不多说, 先上源码 v8test.cpp, 根据 V8 自带的 shell.cc 改写而来

#include "include/v8.h"
#include "include/libplatform/libplatform.h"

    if (arrTimeStr) {
        ptm = localtime(&tv.tv_sec);
        /* Format the date and time, down to a single second.  */
        strftime(time_string, sizeof(time_string), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", ptm);

        snprintf(arrTimeStr, TIME_FMT_LEN, "%s.%06d", time_string, tv.tv_usec);
    }

    return total_us;
}

对照测试结果如下

SpiderMonkey 执行此 JS 文件共花费了 46.781 ms, 其中一万个元素的字符串数组排序反转花费了 3 ms 不到的时间

$ ./test/SpiderMonkeyTest ./test/arraysort.js
[2015-05-10 08:22:20.246747] begin sort and reverse array which length=10000
[2015-05-10 08:22:20.249263] done, first element=zzvJWaQw, last element=00BpApzs
calling costs 46781 microseconds

V8 执行此 JS 文件共花费了 22.326 ms, 其中一万个元素的字符串数组排序反转花费了约 9 ms 

$ ./test/V8Test ./test/arraysort.js
[2015-05-10 08:22:34.324314] begin sort and reverse array which length=10000
[2015-05-10 08:22:34.337588] done, first element=zzmBlrhz, last element=00G00Ssm
calling costs 22326 microseconds

总时间 V8 果然名不虚传, 总的执行比 spidermonkey 快了一倍多, 但有趣的是在内部的字符串数组排序反转所花费的时间方面 SpiderMonkey 反而遥遥领先, 有待研究
