Abstract

Web 2.0 applications written in JavaScript are increasingly popular as they are easy to use, easy to update and maintain, and portable across a wide variety of computing platforms. Web applications receive frequent input from a rich array of sensors, network, and user input modalities. To handle the resulting asynchrony due to these inputs, web applications are developed using an event-driven programming model. These event-driven web applications have dramatically different characteristics, which provides an opportunity to create a customized processor core to improve the responsiveness of web applications.
