Abstract

Web runtimes are an essential part of the modern operating systems and their role will further grow in the future. Many web runtime implementations need to support multiple platforms and the design choices are driven by portability instead of optimized use of the underlying hardware. Thus, the implementations do not fully utilize the GPU and other graphics hardware. The consequence is reduced performance and increased power consumption. In this paper, we describe a way to improve the graphical performance of Chromium web runtime dramatically. In addition, the implementation aspects are discussed.
