[OT] Javascript PC Emulator - Technical Notes

[luigi scarso]

This PC emulator is written in Javascript. The emulated hardware consists in:

    * a 32 bit x86 compatible CPU
    * a 8259 Programmble Interrupt Controller
    * a 8254 Programmble Interrupt Timer
    * a 16450 UART.

Wow...
He is not unkown for me
I started time ago to look at tcc
http://bellard.org/tcc/

Also his calculations about Pi was (at that time) quite relevant.

Hi,

so it's only a matter of time when TeX runs in the browser. I don't know how/if it is possible to access local files, but that should be doable (dropbox,...)

s/run/crawls/

This emulates a "pc" with 20 bogomips and 30MB RAM.
It's probably slower than the machine DEK used for development of TeX78. :-)

FWIW, it runs faster of Jaeger Monkey (Firefox 4) than it does on V8
(Chrome). Shouldn't the bogomips be relative to the performance of the
processing layer?
