]]> Comment on tactical Squeak speedups with WebAssembly by a Tethered server-side display | thisContext https://thiscontext.com/2023/04/07/tactical-squeak-speedups-with-webassembly/#comment-19776 Sat, 17 May 2025 23:39:43 +0000 http://thiscontext.com/?p=2398#comment-19776 […] When the system is headless, the HMTL canvas graphics context that would normally be used for image data is null. The interpreter instead uses postMessage() to pass the pixel data to the bridge. The bridge can then broadcast those pixels to interested clients. Normally, the bridge only relays remote messages and their answers amongst the worker and the clients. We can consider a display update as the parameter for an invocation of a virtual block closure callback, handled specially by each receiving Tether. When such an update is received by a system hosted in a web browser, the Tether puts image data to the graphics context of a local HTML canvas, just as the original system would have done normally. The worker’s BitBLT is invoked normally to calculate the pixels, and can use WebAssembly to speed things up. […]
