[Reading Material] Understand V8 architecture

[bollu]

I'm trying to get a handle on how best to JIT closures in LLVM. I think the right way to do this is to look at previous work and port what they have done :)

Important Previous work:

• Crankshaft, V8's optimising JIT compiler
• Lithium, the low-level IR that Crankshaft uses

Articles:

• v8-perf, github repo which is a goldmine of info
• V8, a tale of two compilers
• Closer look at crankshaft
• LuaJIT list of resources
• LuaJIT innovations
• Julia's JIT architecture, though they don't seem to have anything explicit about closures
