BeamASM vs HiPE?

Since BeamASM doesn't support HiPE - has anyone seen benchmarks of BeamASM (JIT) vs HiPE. I've searched and searched and can't find such analysis.

(Super excited the JIT work is seeing light after 10+ years)

HiPE support is getting wonky, I don't know if many people use it, and I'm not sure it supports the latest OTP versions.

The Erlang folks are looking for maintainer volunteers to continue working on HiPE support, they don't have the manpower right now to maintain it themselves.

I'm not sure if there's a point in the history where you can run with (this) JIT or with HiPE on the same commit. Which makes an apples to apples comparison difficult. If you compare HiPE on OTP 23 with JIT on OTP 24, you're also getting the large amount of other changes as well.

Both HiPE and this JIT have drastically different improvements depending on the specific code that's running, which makes it challenging to have a real world benchmark as well.

There's a comment here: https://blog.erlang.org/the-road-to-the-jit/#maturing-the-ne...

I feel like I saw graphs in one of the presentations, but I don't recall which, or if it was about the final iteration of the JIT.

I suspect HiPE would beat the JIT on tight loops, but the JIT wins in general because of the lack of switching cost between native and interpreted code.

I believe HiPE is going away in the future.
