Bug 171019 – Tune GC related JSC options for iOS

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Saboff]

Empirical tests show that iOS devices perform better with the options values overridden for a smaller number of cores in Options.cpp:overrideDefaults().

These are the options in question:
    Options::maximumMutatorUtilization() = 0.6;
    Options::concurrentGCMaxHeadroom() = 1.4;
    Options::minimumGCPauseMS() = 1;
    Options::useStochasticMutatorScheduler() = false;

Would it be better to duplicate the block below for iOS and not iOS, or do we expect the tuning parameters to stay the same for both (only the condition above changes)?

I opted to do it this way since these are all GC related and don't expect them to change.
