ExecJS::PCRuntime

Accelerated ExecJS Runtime by launching Node.js Processes per Context, not per execution.

inspired by execjs-fastnode

The existing Node.js runtime spawns a Node.js process for each eval, regardless of whether it compiles or not. To reduce this overhead, execjs-fastnode is designed to launch a single Node.js process and manage the Context in JavaScript.

execjs-fastnode is designed to limit the number of threads that can access a Node.js process to 1 to avoid the race condition when multiple Contexts are used. execjs-pcruntime works lock-free by creating a Node.js process for each Context. This improves performance when used with multi-threading.

• Ruby >= 3.0.0
• execjs ~> 2.0

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'execjs-pcruntime'

And then execute:

bundle

Once installed, the Runtime will automatically be replaced. If you want to set it, you can use environment variable EXECJS_RUNTIME=PCRuntime.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

To run a unit test, run the following command.

bundle exec rake
