Technology Performance

In today’s business environment, time is money. Ardent JavaScript™ was specifically designed to create fast and responsive applications with desktop performance so that users can complete their daily work in a fast, flexible and efficient manner.

By eliminating navigation across multiple screens, Ardent JavaScript™ significantly boosts the responsiveness of the application being used. The average executing time (in seconds) for Ardent JavaScript™’s main functions in different browsers for 100 to 1,280,000 records is as follows:

Please note the column 65,535, which highlights the maximum amount of records that can be processed by the desktop application MS Excel 2003. Inside the browser, using JavaScript (which works 1,000 times slower than C/C++, used by MS Excel), Ardent JavaScript™ reached almost the same performance MS Excel 2003 sorts 65,535 records in 3.5 sec) and the same memory usage (approximately 0.4Kb/record). However, Ardent JavaScript™ can process almost 20 times more data inside the browser web page.

In addition to being remarkably fast, Ardent JavaScript™ is versatile and easy to implement. It is compatible and interoperable with all standard web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, AOL, Netscape, Flock, Opera, Avant and Safari), and integrates seamlessly with 3rd-party server databases, middleware platforms, operating systems and technologies such as CGI, Perl, Cold Fusion, ASP, JSP, PHP, Perl, Java Servlets, C/C++ and .NET). Ardent JavaScript™ requires no additional client-side software or plug-ins. It also uses Thin Client environment, and is capable of running offline on mobile devices like laptops, Tablet PCs, Pocket PCs, PALMs and Blackberries.

With Ardent JavaScript™, there is no need to change or learn new server side application software and/or technology. In addition, Ardent JavaScript™ technology is 100% UNICODE-UTF 8 compatible, thereby facilitating the globalization and localization of database-intensive Web applications.

The following graph illustrates Ardent JavaScript™’s dramatic impact on Web-based user productivity:
