Rust WebAssembly and JavaScript: Floyd-Steinberg Dithering

Sat, 20 Jan 2018 13:16:00 +0100

Code examples Demo Rust WASM library and HTML (GitHub) Introduction Further to my recent post comparing the performance of a WebAssembly module written in Rust to plain JavaScript and WebGL shaders for rendering the Mandelbrot set, I have added an additional example comparing the performance of WebAssembly and plain JavaScript for the Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm. Check out the demo! Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm The Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm is used as a way to distribute quantization errors to neighbouring pixels in an image.

WebAssembly and Rust: performance analysis

Code examples Demo Rust library (GitHub) Introduction I have recently been learning The Rust programming language and I absolutely love it! Rust is a systems-level language (like C and C++) which provides compile-time guarantees about memory safety and safe concurrent behaviour. Readers of my Cybersecurity and technology blogs will know that I am interested in computer security, and we’re reminded on an almost monthly basis at the moment that computer security often leaves a lot to be desired, what with vulnerabilities and exploits of public data sadly being a frequent occurrence.

Rust/WebAssembly Graphics Library

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 20:26:00 +0200

Introduction

This is a quick post to describe a little Rust crate that I created for fun: a WebAssembly graphics library.

The library is not meant for any serious work; it has no hardware acceleration and is not highly optimised. I created it to help me to learn Rust, WebAssembly, general graphics routines and unit testing and benchmarking in Rust. I’m sharing it mainly for fun, but also with the hope that it might help someone who is learning this type of thing too.
