Abstract

JavaScript is a popular sequential language for implementing Web applications. To enable concurrent execution of JavaScript code, modern JavaScript engines support the Web Workers API. Using this API, developers can spawn concurrent background workers from a distinguished main worker. These workers, which run on the same machine (e.g., to exploit multicore), interact via message-passing.
The Web Workers API is relatively low-level, which makes implementing coordination protocols among background workers laborious and error-prone. To simplify this, we propose to hide the Web Workers API behind a coordination language that provides higher-level constructs. Importantly, developers already use JavaScript together with domain-specific languages HTML (for markup/structure) and CSS (for style/design); another domain-specific language (for coordination) seamlessly fits this practice. Using the coordination language Reo, we demonstrate the advantages and feasibility of this approach by example. We also present the necessary tool support (compiler; runtime library and API; front-end).

Fußnoten
1
This is an inefficient implementation, but we aim for simplicity here.
 
2
This node is, in fact, syntactic sugar for a complexer circuit (i.e., it can be composed).
 
3
Compared to Figs. 14(a) and (b), the actual implementation also supports multiple ports per workers, and it is protected against workers that perform the next get (or put) before the previous one is completed. Details appear elsewhere [20].

Ideally, coordination overhead is completely independent of workload. In practice, however, this is not always so. The memory footprint of a workload can, for instance, affect the size of coordination overhead [16]. Generally, the larger a workload, the smaller the ratio \(\frac{\text {coordination}}{\text {computation}}\), the less impact coordination overhead has on performance, and the less important minimizing such overhead becomes; at that point, other software qualities (changeability, reusability, etc.) may take precedence.
