OOPSLA 2022 Artifact: WebAssembly Runtime Benchmarks and Source Code

Ben L. Titzer of Carnegie Mellon University created this artifact for the OOPSLA 2022 paper "A Fast in-place Interpreter for WebAssembly". It includes source-code snapshots of three Web engines and three non-Web engines for executing WebAssembly, along with PolyBenchC benchmark binaries, benchmarking scripts, and collected experiment data. The archive provides instructions for running the benchmarks on Linux x86-64 systems.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking WebAssembly interpreter performance based on the included PolyBenchC Wasm binaries and scripts.
• Comparing execution characteristics across different WebAssembly engines based on the source code for six engines.
• Reproducing the experimental results from the OOPSLA 2022 paper based on the provided data and setup.
• Developing or validating new WebAssembly runtime optimizations based on the existing engine implementations and benchmark suite.

Strengths

• Includes source code for six distinct WebAssembly engines, enabling direct implementation comparison.
• Contains a complete experimental setup with benchmark binaries, scripts, and collected data for reproducibility.
• Associated with a peer-reviewed OOPSLA 2022 publication, suggesting academic rigor.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
