Just-in-time Compiler for KonohaScript Using LLVM

In recent years, as a method to improve the language performance of scripting languages has attracted the attention of the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation techniques for scripting language. The difficulty of JIT compilation for scripting language is its dynamically typed code and in its own language runtime. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance overhead of JIT compilation of runtime library's overhead by using a statically typed scripting language. In this study, we use a statically typed scripting language KonohaScript to analyze language runtime performance impact of the code generated by the JIT compiler.
