JetStream should include a JavaScript version of the CDx real-time benchmark

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Filip Pizlo]

JetStream tries to emphasize latency.  Our current latency testing story involves code load tests, short-running tests that offer only small opportunities for warm-up, and tests that measure performance above the 95th percentile.

In academia, there is a test that was used a lot for Real Time Java.  It's called CDx.  It's a simple aircraft collision detection simulation.  It was used in my dissertation and some of my academic papers, and I was one of the co-authors of this original test.  Here's the benchmark URL:

Here are some of the publications based on this benchmark:

CDx is meant to be easy to implement in different languages.  It has a C implementation, for example.  We should port it to JavaScript, add it to JetStream as a 95th percentile worst-case test, and retire whatever SunSpider test is least useful (probably cordic, since it's so tiny).

This indentation looks off.

patch for landing

I think I got rid of all of those tabs that were messing up indentation.
