MoarVM is register based.

Cleaned up from http://irclog.perlgeek.de/parrot/2013-06-07#i_7169478:

dukeleto MoarVM is the spiritual succesor to M0
benabik  MoarVM seems to match my list of
         "how I would improve/rewrite Parrot"
         to a ridiculous degree.
dukeleto it uses many lessons from Parrot and other systems

dukeleto is more or less the current Parrot leader. benabik is a recent Parrot contributor (60+ commits).

M0 is a fundamental Parrot refactor designed to deliver a much cleaner and faster VM.

Aiui MoarVM combines the M0 approach with direct support for NQP and 6model. (whiteknight, until recently one of the most prolific Parrot committers, said of 6model: "6model is far superior to what Parrot provides ... superior for ... Ruby port ... Python port ... JavaScript port ... all of these would prefer 6model over the current Parrot object model by a wide margin".)

if getting 40x faster means being 2x to 3x times slower than what we have now, then it's a bigger flop than I thought.

I'm not suggesting that that will be the final outcome. It's entirely plausible (imo likely) that P6 will end up being seen as faster than P5 over the next few years because P6 naturally supports both multi-core usage and native typing and the MoarVM backend should outperform the JVM backend.

An anecdote for the Per6 team? Yes. Food for thought for the Parrot developers? Definitely! Something to brag about in public? I don't think so!

Are you saying that posting something, anything, here at the monastery, is automatically bragging? Did you see the butt load of caveats I began with in the OP?

I agree it's just 40x faster than on Parrot but it is 40x faster and that's without attempting to optimize it for the JVM. Imo it's worth posting about here at the monastery.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
