<h2>In-Depth Analysis</h2>
<p>
JetStream 2 combines together a variety of JavaScript and Web Assembly benchmarks, covering a variety of
advanced workloads and programming techniques, and reports a single score that
balances them using a geometric mean.
</p>
<p>
Each benchmark measures a distinct workload, and no single optimization
technique is sufficient to speed up all benchmarks. Some benchmarks demonstrate tradeoffs, and
aggressive or specialized optimizations for one benchmark might make another benchmark slower.
JetStream 2 rewards browsers that start up quickly, execute code quickly, and continue running smoothly.
</p>
<p>
Each benchmark in JetStream 2 computes its own individual score. JetStream 2 weighs each
benchmark equally, taking the geometric mean over each individual benchmark's score to compute
the overall JetStream 2 score.
</p>
<p>
It's not enough to just measure the total running time of a workload.
Browsers may perform differently for the same JavaScript workload depending on how many times it
has run. For example, garbage collection runs periodically, making some iterations take longer than
others. Code that runs repeatedly gets optimized by the browser, so the first iteration
of any workload is usually more expensive than the rest.
</p>
<p>
For most of the JavaScript benchmarks in JetStream 2, individual scores
equally weigh startup performance, worst case performance, and average case
performance. These three metrics are crucial to running performant JavaScript
in the browser. Fast startup times lead browsers to loading pages more quickly. Good
worst case performance ensures web applications can run without hiccups. Fast average
case performance makes it so that the most advanced web applications can run at all.
</p>
<p>
For JetStream 2's Web Assembly benchmarks, individual scores equally weigh startup time and
total execution time. An important component of JetStream 1 were the asm.js subset of benchmarks. With the release
of Web Assembly, the importance of asm.js has lessened since many users of asm.js are
now using Web Assembly. JetStream 2 has converted many of the asm.js benchmarks from
JetStream 1 into Web Assembly.
</p>
<p>
All but one of JetStream'2 JavaScript benchmarks run for N iterations, where
N is usually 120. JetStream 2 reports the startup score as the time it takes to run the first iteration.
The worst case score is the average of the worst M iterations, excluding the first iteration.
M is always less than N, and is usually 4. The average case score is the average
of all but the first iteration. These three scores are weighed equally using the geometric
mean.
</p>
<p>
JetStream 2 also includes a JavaScript benchmark named WSL. WSL is an implementation of a
GPU shading language written in JavaScript. WSL does not use the above mechanism for scoring
because it has a long running time. Instead, the WSL benchmark computes its score as the
geometric mean over two metrics: the time it takes to compile the WSL standard library, and the time
it takes to run through the WSL specification test suite.
</p>
<p>
JetStream 2 includes parts of these benchmark suites that came before it: <a href="https://webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html">SunSpider</a>,
<a href="https://developers.google.com/octane/">Octane 2</a>, <a href="https://browserbench.org/JetStream1.1/">JetStream 1</a>,
<a href="https://browserbench.org/ARES-6/">ARES-6</a>, and <a href="https://v8.github.io/web-tooling-benchmark/">Web Tooling Benchmark</a>.
JetStream 2 also includes new benchmarks inspired by <a href="https://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org">Kraken</a>.
JetStream 2 also includes a new set of benchmarks that measure the performance of Web Assembly, Web Workers,
Promises, async iteration, unicode regular expressions, and JavaScript parsing.
</p>
<p>
Note that scores from JetStream 2 are not comparable to scores to other versions
of any JetStream benchmark.
