Hamsters.js Versions Save

This release resolves a few issues that will increase overall performance however it comes at a cost of higher memory usage

Resolved index calculation to support odd numbers of threads such as triple core processors Added more unit tests Resolved some unit tests not working in Firefox browser Added task.output for output data, previously the library was modifying the input array as the output, this was great from a memory usage standpoint however its bad practice to modify inputs so that's no longer happening. Cleaned up code some

Enjoy!

This release was primarily targeted around more unit testing and fixing the debugging metrics, additionally there is a slight performance increase and resolves a memory leak.

• Resolved memory leak of pool.tasks array overflowing with random data
• Resolved issues with debugging mode not returning accurate thread start and completion times
• Modified indexes calculation to be 100% accurate with new unit tests
• Removed pool.tasks array and function calls, slight performance increase.
• When using debugging mode you can now see individual performance for each thread as well as performance of each task, start and end * times as well as enqueued and dequeued times if a task gets queued waiting for a thread.

This release also drops support for Internet Explorer 9, support for Internet Explorer 10 is no longer guaranteed to work and has not been tested.

Enjoy!

This release is mainly a bug fix release and does not include any optimizations or other changes beyond fixing the below issues.

• Resolved issues running with reactNative
• Resolved issues with overriding maxThreads not working on startup
• Removed additional splice data aggregation method not supported by reactNative

Enjoy!

I'm happy to announce the release of Hamsters.js v5.4.0, this version is a major overhaul and completes the implementation of the JIT data management system. This is truly a game changing release as it dramatically reduces memory usage while also increasing per thread scaling and reducing library overhead and total package size.

This release also comes with a few notable changes

• Memoization support has been temporarily removed

• JIT data management is now fully implemented, reducing memory allocation to at most 1 copy of the original input data

• Removed old unused logic to reduce code package size

• You can now control which threads operate on which pieces of your input data by passing a new optional indexes argument

  const params = {
    array: [1,2,3,4],
    threads: 2,
    indexes: [
      {start: 0, end: 0}, //Thread one will operate on only the first element
      {start: 1, end: 3} //Thread two will operate on the remaining elements
   ]    
  };
