| JavaScript (known more formally as EcmaScript) has yet to embrace data parallelism for | ||
| general computation. Meanwhile hardware is becoming more data parallel due to the | ||
| improved calculation per watt advantage. This can be seen in both the vector instructions | ||
| used within the CPU core and the other parallel hardware being integrated onto the CPU | ||
| chip. For JavaScript to continue its success as the language of choice for web | ||
| applications and to extend its success into critical areas such as image processing and | ||
| gaming it must leverage this data parallel hardware. River Trail is our vision of a data | ||
| parallel JavaScript that gently extends JavaScript with the ParallelArray prototype | ||
| allowing the JavaScript programmer to leverage data parallelism from within the familiar | ||
| JavaScript programming model instead of having to acquire an entirely new skill set | ||
| simple to write data parallel programs. The vision maintains important attributes of | ||
| JavaScript such as safety and security and fits comfortably within the browser and | ||
| the JavaScript runtime. | ||
