With the emergence of HTML5 the browser has become a powerful and productive platform for application developers. It is possible to develop wide range of application using html5. The JavaScript engines are further improved, by different vendors like Chrome, Mozilla etc., for faster execution of JavaScript. However, Compute-intensive functions, graph layout algorithms, and huge data processing, are still considered beyond the reach of JavaScript. This presentation looks at improving the performance of such applications implemented on the Web platform. It describes how high-performance compute capabilities of multi-core CPUs and programmable GPUs can be made accessible to web applications. This presentation describes a real world use case related to layout algorithms used in graphics such as node-link diagram. Here the goal is to improve the computation time of graph layout algorithm.
