Lua is an embeddable scripting language originally developed at Tecgraf, PUCRio in 1993 and now widely used in the interactive entertainment industry1. Its main goals are to be simple, efficient, portable and lightweight. The objective of this project was to improve the performance of the Lua programming language interpreter by adding a just-in-time (JIT) compiler to the standard run-time environment.
Although it is among the fastest scripting languages, Lua is still approximately a factor of 20 slower than C in the majority of benchmarks [?, ?]. There is still plenty of room for improvement. Admittedly, the performance of the standard Lua virtual machine (VM) is adequate for tasks such as configuration or for use as a ‘glue’ language, but high performance and efficiency are important in games and interactive applications
