Episode: JIT, WASM and scary noises (realraum)
Description: At 39C3 I did a talk about how we reverse engineered a custom DSP from a 90s digital synth, with the the goal of emulating it. To make it performant, and actually run it in real time, we had to resort to JIT compilation of the DSP bytecode. While we built the original emulator in C++, I asked myself how difficult it could be to run it on a web browser as well. Emscripten did wonders translating the original emulator core from C++ to WebAssembly, but the main blocker remained running the JIT engine, since we are technically already inside...
