[OT] Javascript PC Emulator - Technical Notes
This PC emulator is written in Javascript. The emulated hardware consists in: * a 32 bit x86 compatible CPU * a 8259 Programmble Interrupt Controller * a 8254 Programmble Interrupt Timer * a 16450 UART. http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html Wow... He is not unkown for me I started time ago to look at tcc http://bellard.org/tcc/ Also his calculations about Pi was (at that time) quite relevant. -- luigi

so it's only a matter of time when TeX runs in the browser. I don't know how/if it is possible to access local files, but that should be doable (dropbox,...)
s/run/crawls/ This emulates a "pc" with 20 bogomips and 30MB RAM. It's probably slower than the machine DEK used for development of TeX78. :-) Best Martin
FWIW, it runs faster of Jaeger Monkey (Firefox 4) than it does on V8
(Chrome). Shouldn't the bogomips be relative to the performance of the
processing layer?
