Intel’s Parallel Extensions for JavaScript, code named River Trail, hooks into on-chip vector extensions to improve performance of Web applications. Details of Intel’s attempt to get on the JavaScript juggernaut emerged last month at its developer event.
The prototype JavaScript extension offered by Intel is intended to allow JavaScript apps to take advantage of modern parallel chip capabilities. Sequential gives way to parallel, at least in theory.
In-browser games and image editing are pitched as examples of application elements that would take advantage of new eight-core processors, blogs Intel’s Stephan Herhut.The software is said to ”play nicely” with the WebGL JavaScript API to OpenGL for 3D visualization in the browser. Intel has a beta Firefox extension for interested developers. Says Herhut:
You can download a prebuilt version for Windows and 64 Bit MacOS [from github] or build it yourself. For the latter, we have written a README that explains the process. Once you have the extension installed, take a look at our demos to see what is possible.
Why should the browser be a second fiddle to the operating system? As browsers, JavaScript, and HTML5 gain more influence, top-tier chip makers will start to adapt their libraries to Web application demands. More, including material on API design or the beginnings of API documentation, is on a RiverTrail wiki.

I stumbled across http://webkit.org/specs recently, which is basically a nifty listing of all custom extensions Apple/Webkit has made to web specs, written up as specs themselves so that other browsers can implement them:
There were some on here that I had ever even heard of. The first is the Timed Media Elements spec, which is a fancy name for basically CSS that can control playback of video and audio:
CSS:
myVideo {
media-play-state: paused; /* Pause the video. */
media-play-rate: 50%; /* Play at half speed. */
media-loop-count: 2;
}
Another interesting spec contains extensions to CSS Media Queries, basically making it possible for user agents to query whether CSS Transforms, Animations, 3D Transforms, and Transitions are available so you can apply different style sheets for platforms that support these CSS effects:
HTML:
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“screen and (transform-2d)” />

Daniel Buchner of Jetpack has a post on Indexing and Auto-Detecting Browser Extensions on the Web.
He discusses how search engines themselves could show interesting information on extensions:
Now search engines could go back to being app stores ;)
Beyond that, the browser itself could be told about a related extension. Others have talked about this of course.
I wrote about AppDiscover an experiment at doing just this for not only extensions but applications themselves. The browser should have a generic way to be told about related work, and could surface to users in interesting ways. If we can agree on the semantics, then we could put together quick extensions to do this, and hopefully browsers will bake this in.
