JavaScript多线程运行库Nexus.js详解

首先，如果你不熟悉这个项目，建议先阅读之前写的一系列文章。如果你不想阅读这些，不用担心。这里面也会涉及到那些内容。

现在，让我们开始吧。

去年，我开始实现Nexus.js，这是一个基于Webkit/JavaScript内核的多线程服务端JavaScript运行库。有一段时间我放弃了做这件事，由于一些我无法控制的原因，我不打算在这里讨论，主要是：我无法让自己长时间工作。

所以，让我们从讨论Nexus的架构开始，以及它是如何工作的。

事件循环

没有事件循环

有一个带有（无锁）任务对象的线程池

每次调用setTimeout或setImmediate或创建一个Promise时，任务就排队到任务队列钟。

每当计划任务时，第一个可用的线程将选择任务并执行它。

在CPU内核上处理Promise。对Promise.all()的调用将并行的解决Promise。

ES6

支持async/await，并且推荐使用

支持for await(...)

支持解构

支持async try/catch/finally

模块

不支持CommonJS。（require(...)和module.exports）

所有模块使用ES6的import/export语法

支持动态导入通过import('file-or-packge').then(...)

支持import.meta，例如：import.meta.filename以及import.meta.dirname等等

附加功能：支持直接从URL中导入，例如：

import { h } from 'https://unpkg.com/preact/dist/preact.esm.js';

EventEmitter

Nexus实现了基于Promise的EventEmitter类

事件处理程序在所有线程上排序，并将并行处理执行。

EventEmitter.emit(...)的返回值是一个Promise，它可以被解析为在事件处理器中返回值所构成的数组。

例如：

class EmitterTest extends Nexus.EventEmitter {
 constructor() {
  super();
  for(let i = 0; i < 4; i++)
   this.on('test', value => { console.log(`fired test ${i}!`); console.inspect(value); });
  for(let i = 0; i < 4; i++)
   this.on('returns-a-value', v => `${v + i}`);
 }
}
const test = new EmitterTest();
async function start() {
 await test.emit('test', { payload: 'test 1' });
 console.log('first test done!');
 await test.emit('test', { payload: 'test 2' });
 console.log('second test done!');
 const values = await test.emit('returns-a-value', 10);
 console.log('third test done, returned values are:'); console.inspect(values);
}
start().catch(console.error);

I/O

所有输入/输出都通过三个原语完成：Device，Filter和Stream。

所有输入/输出原语都实现了EventEmitter类

要使用Device，你需要在Device之上创建一个ReadableStream或WritableStream

要操作数据，可以将Filters添加到ReadableStream或WritableStream中。

最后，使用source.pipe(...destinationStreams)，然后等待source.resume()来处理数据。

所有的输入/输出操作都是使用ArrayBuffer对象完成的。

Filter试了了process(buffer)方法来处理数据。

例如：使用2个独立的输出文件将UTF-8转换为UTF6。

const startTime = Date.now();
 try {
  const device = new Nexus.IO.FilePushDevice('enwik8');
  const stream = new Nexus.IO.ReadableStream(device);
  stream.pushFilter(new Nexus.IO.EncodingConversionFilter("UTF-8", "UTF-16LE"));
  const wstreams = [0,1,2,3]
   .map(i => new Nexus.IO.WritableStream(new Nexus.IO.FileSinkDevice('enwik16-' + i)));
  console.log('piping...');
  stream.pipe(...wstreams);
  console.log('streaming...');
  await stream.resume();
  await stream.close();
  await Promise.all(wstreams.map(stream => stream.close()));
  console.log(`finished in ${(Date.now() * startTime) / 1000} seconds!`);
 } catch (e) {
  console.error('An error occurred: ', e);
 }
}
start().catch(console.error);

TCP/UDP

Nexus.js提供了一个Acceptor类，负责绑定ip地址/端口和监听连接

每次收到一个连接请求，connection事件就会被触发，并且提供一个Socket设备。

每一个Socket实例是全双工的I/O设备。

你可以使用ReadableStream和WritableStream来操作Socket。

最基础的例子：（向客户端发送“Hello World”）

const acceptor = new Nexus.Net.TCP.Acceptor();
let count = 0;
acceptor.on('connection', (socket, endpoint) => {
 const connId = count++;
 console.log(`connection #${connId} from ${endpoint.address}:${endpoint.port}`);
 const rstream = new Nexus.IO.ReadableStream(socket);
 const wstream = new Nexus.IO.WritableStream(socket);
 const buffer = new Uint8Array(13);
 const message = 'Hello World!\n';
 for(let i = 0; i < 13; i++)
  buffer[i] = message.charCodeAt(i);
 rstream.pushFilter(new Nexus.IO.UTF8StringFilter());
 rstream.on('data', buffer => console.log(`got message: ${buffer}`));
 rstream.resume().catch(e => console.log(`client #${connId} at ${endpoint.address}:${endpoint.port} disconnected!`));
 console.log(`sending greeting to #${connId}!`);
 wstream.write(buffer);
});
acceptor.bind('127.0.0.1', 10000);
acceptor.listen();
console.log('server ready');

Http

Nexus提供了一个Nexus.Net.HTTP.Server类，该类基本上继承了TCPAcceptor

一些基础接口

当服务器端完成了对传入连接的基本的Http头的解析/校验时，将使用连接和同样的信息触发connection事件

每一个连接实例都又一个request和一个response对象。这些是输入/输出设备。

你可以构造ReadableStream和WritableStream来操纵request/response。

如果你通过管道连接到一个Response对象，输入的流将会使用分块编码的模式。否者，你可以使用response.write()来写入一个常规的字符串。

复杂例子：（基本的Http服务器与块编码，细节省略）

....
/**
 * Creates an input stream from a path.
 * @param path
 * @returns {Promise<ReadableStream>}
 */
async function createInputStream(path) {
 if (path.startsWith('/')) // If it starts with '/', omit it.
  path = path.substr(1);
 if (path.startsWith('.')) // If it starts with '.', reject it.
  throw new NotFoundError(path);
 if (path === '/' || !path) // If it's empty, set to index.html.
  path = 'index.html';
 /**
  * `import.meta.dirname` and `import.meta.filename` replace the old CommonJS `__dirname` and `__filename`.
  */
 const filePath = Nexus.FileSystem.join(import.meta.dirname, 'server_root', path);
 try {
  // Stat the target path.
  const {type} = await Nexus.FileSystem.stat(filePath);
  if (type === Nexus.FileSystem.FileType.Directory) // If it's a directory, return its 'index.html'
   return createInputStream(Nexus.FileSystem.join(filePath, 'index.html'));
  else if (type === Nexus.FileSystem.FileType.Unknown || type === Nexus.FileSystem.FileType.NotFound)
   // If it's not found, throw NotFound.
   throw new NotFoundError(path);
 } catch(e) {
  if (e.code)
   throw e;
  throw new NotFoundError(path);
 }
 try {
  // First, we create a device.
  const fileDevice = new Nexus.IO.FilePushDevice(filePath);
  // Then we return a new ReadableStream created using our source device.
  return new Nexus.IO.ReadableStream(fileDevice);
 } catch(e) {
  throw new InternalServerError(e.message);
 }
}
/**
 * Connections counter.
 */
let connections = 0;
/**
 * Create a new HTTP server.
 * @type {Nexus.Net.HTTP.Server}
 */
const server = new Nexus.Net.HTTP.Server();
// A server error means an error occurred while the server was listening to connections.
// We can mostly ignore such errors, we display them anyway.
server.on('error', e => {
 console.error(FgRed + Bright + 'Server Error: ' + e.message + '\n' + e.stack, Reset);
});
/**
 * Listen to connections.
 */
server.on('connection', async (connection, peer) => {
 // Start with a connection ID of 0, increment with every new connection.
 const connId = connections++;
 // Record the start time for this connection.
 const startTime = Date.now();
 // Destructuring is supported, why not use it?
 const { request, response } = connection;
 // Parse the URL parts.
 const { path } = parseURL(request.url);
 // Here we'll store any errors that occur during the connection.
 const errors = [];
 // inStream is our ReadableStream file source, outStream is our response (device) wrapped in a WritableStream.
 let inStream, outStream;
 try {
  // Log the request.
  console.log(`> #${FgCyan + connId + Reset} ${Bright + peer.address}:${peer.port + Reset} ${
   FgGreen + request.method + Reset} "${FgYellow}${path}${Reset}"`, Reset);
  // Set the 'Server' header.
  response.set('Server', `nexus.js/0.1.1`);
  // Create our input stream.
  inStream = await createInputStream(path);
  // Create our output stream.
  outStream = new Nexus.IO.WritableStream(response);
  // Hook all `error` events, add any errors to our `errors` array.
  inStream.on('error', e => { errors.push(e); });
  request.on('error', e => { errors.push(e); });
  response.on('error', e => { errors.push(e); });
  outStream.on('error', e => { errors.push(e); });
  // Set content type and request status.
  response
   .set('Content-Type', mimeType(path))
   .status(200);
  // Hook input to output(s).
  const disconnect = inStream.pipe(outStream);
  try {
   // Resume our file stream, this causes the stream to switch to HTTP chunked encoding.
   // This will return a promise that will only resolve after the last byte (HTTP chunk) is written.
   await inStream.resume();
  } catch (e) {
   // Capture any errors that happen during the streaming.
   errors.push(e);
  }
  // Disconnect all the callbacks created by `.pipe()`.
  return disconnect();
 } catch(e) {
  // If an error occurred, push it to the array.
  errors.push(e);
  // Set the content type, status, and write a basic message.
  response
   .set('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
   .status(e.code || 500)
   .send(e.message || 'An error has occurred.');
 } finally {
  // Close the streams manually. This is important because we may run out of file handles otherwise.
  if (inStream)
   await inStream.close();
  if (outStream)
   await outStream.close();
  // Close the connection, has no real effect with keep-alive connections.
  await connection.close();
  // Grab the response's status.
  let status = response.status();
  // Determine what colour to output to the terminal.
  const statusColors = {
   '200': Bright + FgGreen, // Green for 200 (OK),
   '404': Bright + FgYellow, // Yellow for 404 (Not Found)
   '500': Bright + FgRed // Red for 500 (Internal Server Error)
  };
  let statusColor = statusColors[status];
  if (statusColor)
   status = statusColor + status + Reset;
  // Log the connection (and time to complete) to the console.
  console.log(`< #${FgCyan + connId + Reset} ${Bright + peer.address}:${peer.port + Reset} ${
   FgGreen + request.method + Reset} "${FgYellow}${path}${Reset}" ${status} ${(Date.now() * startTime)}ms` +
   (errors.length ? " " + FgRed + Bright + errors.map(error => error.message).join(', ') + Reset : Reset));
 }
});

基准

我想我已经涵盖了到目前为止所实现的一切。那么现在我们来谈谈性能。

这里是上诉Http服务器的当前基准，有100个并发连接和总共10000个请求：
