Editor’s note: first, webassembly has been making great efforts in the fields of serverless and cloud computing. We have seen the application of 64 bit webassembly, serverless based on webassembly, and webassembly in the field of AI.
WebAssembly
64 bit webassembly
Memory64 of 64 bit webassembly is being implemented step by step! 64 bit CPU is the mainstream today. Memory64 provides more available memory space for the webassembly virtual machine. It is very suitable for server applications.
Second state publishes serverless FAAS based on webassembly
Second state function as a service (FAAS) is a high performance server less service. It supports the rust programming language, where rust is a first-class citizen. Based on webassembly, second state FAAS starts and runs faster than virtual machines or container-based alternatives. It is ideal for computing intensive applications such as media processing, data analysis and edge AI / tensorflow applications.
The second state FAAS is still in the testing phase. During the test period, the rust function as a service can be deployed and used for free. No registration, no credit card. Create a static web page and use FAAS as a back-end service.Come and have a try.
AI services provided by webassembly
Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen two ways to run AI models through web assembly.One is to compress tensorflow model and compile it into wasm programThe other is to raiseCommand API for similar WasiTo run tensorflow model natively on GPU. Which method do you like!
Kotlin beckons to webassembly
Kotlin is one of the most popular programming languages for mobile application development. This new roadmap previews webassembly compilation goals and improved support for writing server-side applications.
Collision Galaxy simulation using rust, threejs and webassembly
Use rust, threejs, and webassembly to create a colliding Galaxy simulation. Colliding galaxies produce black holes. Create your work and see what this year’s Nobel Prize is. 🙂
Improving webassembly and its tools
The first major version of webassembly focused on browsers. Webassembly now extends its focus beyond browsers. The vision of webassembly is to become a cross platform language and portable binary format on many platforms. In this article, we discuss the topic of server-side webassembly with Nick fizgerald of wasmtime.
Apache’s TVM deep learning compiler uses webassembly and has better rust support
Apache TVM is a compiler stack for deep learning systems. TVM 0.7 adds support for webgpu and webassembly.
Compile and run go program to webassembly
This is a comprehensive tutorial that will guide you through the whole process of creating a go program, making asynchronous network calls from go, compiling it into a webassembly, and running it in a web browser. It relies heavily on the browser’s JavaScript API to support operations such as network calls.
Three steps from JavaScript to webassembly
This article discusses how the mocrio storytelling platform enhances performance through the webassembly in the browser. The results show that the client performance is 65% higher than before, the size of JS file is reduced by 60%, and the code base becomes more tidy. At the same time, the responsibilities of assemblescript and JavaScript are obviously separated.
A complete guide to webassembly and its JavaScript API
This article shows us how to integrate webassembly with JavaScript through JavaScript webassembly API.
Rust news
Rust 1.47.0 released
The compiler now supports features on arrays of any length. This is very useful for rust crite on machine learning and AI. These algorithms always use large high-dimensional arrays.
Portable SIMD supported by rust
Rust is determined to become a high-performance, hardware optimized computing language. SIMD support in the new generation CPU is essential.
High performance mjml template engine
Mjml is a markup language for writing responsive e-mail. The rust project converts mjml content into HTML, which can then be used in the body of an email. Of course, it can also be used in webassembly!
Eventualy: the event source of rust
Eventualy released v0.4.0. New features:
- More detailed documentation
- Publish and subscribe to events submitted in memory and in the event store supported by Postgres
- Support event subscription and projection. Read optimization (materialized view) with almost real time and optimal locking
Rust encounters the collision of web programming paradigm
This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of rust and JavaScript on the web. He concluded that rust and webassembly on the web will have a bright future.
Rust after honeymoon
Two years ago, Bryan cantrill wrote about how he fell in love with rust. Today, two years later, his enthusiasm remains the same. Read his latest blog post to see why experienced rust developers are keen to contribute code to using and liking the rust language.
Memory safe curl written by rust
Curl program is probably one of the most commonly used utilities in the era of Web API. Its creators now make it memory safe by rewriting it with rust.
Serverless
Full stack serverless Manifesto
Nader dabit of AWS released a declaration of the future of end-to-end applications based on the serverless paradigm. Serverless = FaaS + BaaS。 The future of serverless is bright!
Why does the serverless revolution stagnate
As early as 2006, serverless planned to lead the new era of cloud computing, but it has not yet been realized.
The author thinks that the following four factors have influenced the serverless revolution
1. Support limited programming language
2. Supplier binding
3. Performance
4. Unable to run the whole application
The author thinks that no server should not be regarded as a substitute for server. What’s your opinion?
Compare Amazon cloud, Google and Microsoft’s serverless
According to the following four criteria, make the right choice between different server free providers:
- Cost,
- Easy to integrate,
- The number of services as event sources and destinations,
- Industry adoption indicators,
The future of serverless
This article introduces the future of serverless, and the ability that serverless can be directly applied to production without server will continue to improve. At the same time, serverless also has great potential to cover other scenarios. The industry predicts that no server will become the default computing platform by 2025.
