It has also been shown that popular optimization techniques, such as just-in-time compilation, many times degrade the performance of Web Applications. Further, since JavaScript is a sequential language it cannot take advantage of multicore processors. In this paper, we propose to use Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) as an alternative optimization technique for Web Applications written in JavaScript. Our TLS approach is based on speculation at the function level. We have implemented TLS in WebKit, a state-of-the-art web browser and JavaScript engine. Our results show speedups between 2 and 8 on eig...
