A benchmarking tool that measures JavaScript performance across various browsers, providing a score for overall browser performance and focusing on advanced web technologies and optimizations.
OctaneBench® is a leading cross-browser benchmark test developed by Google that measures JavaScript performance. It runs a comprehensive suite of tests ranging from core language features like prototypes and calls to advanced workloads like physics simulations and 3D graphics.
The goal of OctaneBench® is to provide an accurate representation of real-world JavaScript performance. It stresses JavaScript engines and focuses on advanced optimizations in modern browsers, giving each browser an overall score for comparison. The tests cover code found in complex web applications such as games, creative tools and productivity apps.
OctaneBench® measures performance statically without reliance on outside data sources. This allows the tests to be deterministic and reliable for consistent benchmarking across browser versions. The workload was constructed using scientific principles and representative use cases to remain relevant over time even as JavaScript engines evolve.
The benchmark consists of 17 tests including box2d physics, code loading, crypto, delta blue, earley booleans, gbemu emulation, mandreel latency, navier stokes fluid simulation, pdfjs display, raytrace rendering, regexp DNA matching, Richards OS kernel simulation, splay tree latency, typescript compiler, zlib data compression and more. These produce a final single score that can be used to compare browsers.
OctaneBench® provides an industry standard for measuring JavaScript engine performance. It allows meaningful real-world comparisons between browsers to help engine developers optimize speed for end users.
