More consistent LuaJIT performance
12/12/2018
This post details the progress of a year-long project to improve LuaJIT performance. Key contributions include the creation of a larger, more robust Lua benchmark suite, the development of a simple benchmark runner (simplerunner.lua) with statistical analysis (mean, confidence intervals), and a comparative performance analysis of the original LuaJIT repository and RaptorJIT. The post presents detailed benchmark results for both implementations and a comparison between them, highlighting performance differences across various benchmarks and providing classifications for their behavior (e.g., warmup, flat, slowdown).
