Show HN: WebAssembly Instrumentation in the Wizard Research Engine

Hello all, I've been working on research tools for Wasm for some time now, and just today we put up the pre-print for our newest paper "Flexible Non-intrusive Dynamic Instrumentation for WebAssembly" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07973), which will appear in ASPLOS 2024. Two previous papers, one about Wizard's interpreter (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3563311) and one about the JIT (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13241) have been discussed on HN before. This new paper explains what Wizard is really about: dynamic instrumentation of Wasm programs, without modifying the program or its behavior.…

Nice work! JIT compilers are a multi-dimensional tradeoff space: memory consumption, startup time, and execution time. I've been experimenting with different ways of visualizing these three dimensions in a tradeoff space. I like the iteration time over time (showing warmup time) but that graph takes a lot of space and is necessarily per-benchmark (and only works with benchmarks with clearly repeated iterations). In my recent JIT paper I went for a scatter plot of two dimensions (setup time and code quality). It's here if anyone's curious: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13241
