View source for Tamarin:Tracing

Tamarin-tracing is an experimental branch of the [[Tamarin]] virtual
machine. This branch modifies tamarin to use a trace-based optimizer
rather than a conventional just-in-time compiler. Trace optimization is
a technique which holds promise for optimizing untyped javascript code,
and doing so with a small memory footprint.

The new branch can be found in http://hg.mozilla.org/tamarin-tracing/.
