WebAssembly for High-Performance Web Applications: A Study on Execution Speed and Efficiency

Author(s) Venkata Padma Kumar Vemuri
Country United States
Abstract WebAssembly represents a remarkably intricate and low-level bytecode format that has been meticulously engineered to facilitate the execution of code with an exceptionally high degree of performance within web browsers, thus serving to not only complement but also frequently surpass the capabilities of JavaScript when it comes to executing compute-intensive tasks that require significant computational resources. This scholarly article endeavors to deliver a comprehensive and detailed IEEE-style analysis that rigorously compares the performance characteristics of WebAssembly against those of JavaScript, with particular emphasis on various critical factors such as execution speed, memory efficiency, and an extensive array of real-world use cases that are pertinent to the discussion. A methodologically robust and thorough approach is delineated in this study, which integrates meticulously controlled benchmarking practices alongside practical case studies that provide valuable insights into the performance dynamics of these two technologies. The findings of this research demonstrate that in scenarios characterized by compute-bound workloads, WebAssembly can achieve performance levels that are strikingly close to that of native execution, often yielding speed improvements that range from a factor of 1.3 times faster to exceptionally significant enhancements when compared to the performance metrics of JavaScript. In addition, this write-up investigates the obstacles that are intrinsically linked to the adoption of WebAssembly, which cover matters concerning manual memory oversight and the extra costs tied to the collaboration between JavaScript and WebAssembly, while also illuminating prospective future trajectories for the technology that involve instituting garbage collection solutions, refining threading functionalities, and the launch of SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) enhancements that could elevate its performance.
