JavaScript provides the developer a system with single threaded event loop architecture, that provides non blocking I/O mechanism. This work great until we get to CPU intensive tasks. In this case, JavaScript doesn’t perform up to mark.
This has changed with the exposure of web workers in the browsers and worker threads in Node.js . With those 2 APIs, CPU intensive operations in JavaScript are more efficient then ever.
In this talk I will go over the concept and Architecture of those APIs, and will show live demo + performance measurements that will make you want to use it.
