Hi, I am new to V8 and was in the process of exploring the implementation of threading inside the V8 engine. >From what I have seen till now the there is a thread pool created which waits on the DefaultPlatform::queue_ and a task is popped by taking a lock(work sharing).
What I am not sure of is what type of tasks are present in the queue mentioned above and from where are the tasks coming in ? As per my knowledge the tasks are both compilation and heap management tasks. Can someone please verify this and tell me if this is right? Also, is there any design document available for knowing the V8's threading policy as I want to see if I can change the work sharing as present to work stealing(http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/papers/steal.pdf) but before starting up, I would want to know if it would be useful or not.
