Can a web browser perform like a native desktop app?
In this technical session, Andrew Burnett-Thompson and David Burleigh explain how C++ compiled to WebAssembly enables near-native performance in the browser. Learn how WebGL and WebAssembly are used to render millions of data points, manage memory safely, and power real-time, high-performance dashboards at scale.
Topics include WebAssembly SIMD, browser memory optimisation, large dataset rendering, and scaling synchronized charts for demanding industries like finance, medical systems, and motorsport.
