Tizen 9.0 Features – Performance
To make the experience smoother for users of smart TVs, Tizen has improved its input method, reducing responsive time by about 52%, reducing the time from 5.17 seconds to 2.48 seconds at a specific text(‘hello Tizen’). It separates UI rendering from input processing to reduce key input delays.
In addition, three new engines have been developed to operate quickly while saving memory when using the web. They are independently developed and focus on light and efficient. Also Their key features are web standard, memory efficiency, performance and cross-platform.
- LWE : The first engine, Lightweight Web Engine (LWE), supports the latest web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) while using 52% less memory than Chrome.
- Escargot : The second engine, Escargot, uses 24% less memory compared to V8, a JavaScript engine used by Chrome. Escargot is being developed as an open-source project and is publicly available on GitHub. It supports the latest JavaScript standard.
- Walrus : The last engine is Walrus, which is a lightweight WebAssembly engine. WebAssembly is a new web standard that allows applications written in various programming languages to be converted into WebAssembly and run in web environments. Walrus, like Escargot, is being developed as an open-source project and is available on GitHub. It currently supports WebAssembly version 1.1 and is continuously evolving with new features. This engine introduces Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler technology. This makes it possible to run web apps five times faster on average. These technologies provide fast and smooth web experiences even on devices with limited performance capabilities.
