Hi Jean-Sebastien, the old SpiderMonkey port [10] already contains support for nspr - so that end should be covered cause I am using the old port descriptor files as a basis for the new 1.8.5 port. That's the type of embedded board [11] I am considering. It comes with an FPGA processor that accompanies the main CPU that I want to leverage to optimize certain operations (maybe that scenario is similar to what you are doing with offloading CPU cycles to the GPU).
