You cannot turn off the interpreter, nor build V8 without it. Without the interpreter, V8 would be unable to execute any JavaScript.
V8 used to have a non-optimizing compiler and an optimizing compiler. Now it has an interpreter and a new optimizing compiler, replacing the former two. What hasn't changed is that all executed code still goes through the first stage of the pipeline first, and then is eventually optimized if it runs hot enough. So I think for your purposes, the fact that the non-optimizing compiler was replaced with an interpreter is an internal implementation detail that you don't need to care about. Just go ahead and run your benchmarks :-) On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 5:54 PM Howie Lee <lihongy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, everyone! > > I need to run some benchmarks on the v8 to test the performance of a DBT > (a dynamic binary translator).
