How to try out the future configuration of V8

[Michael Hablich]

Hi,

you probably already have read it on Twitter or the V8 blog: V8 is going to switch to a new compiler architecture in the next few months. We are planning to deprecate FullCodeGen+Crankshaft in favor of Ignition+Turbofan.

As an embedder you already have the opportunity to try out the new configuration before it will be the default. You can use the specific instructions for Node.js or Chrome Canary to get an idea on how to switch on the new architecture.

Cheers,

Michael
