# **Frank Lemanschik — Research & Inventions Portfolio** ## **Profile** Frank Lemanschik is a researcher, inventor, and software architect specializing in distributed systems, runtime optimization, polyglot compilation, and high-performance application deployment. He has contributed to core technologies such as **V8**, **GraalVM**, and **Rollup**, while pioneering novel runtime architectures and coding paradigms aimed at replacing traditional frameworks like **Electron** with lightweight, scalable solutions. --- ## **Vision** * Replace heavyweight multi-instance runtimes (e.g., Electron) with **standard browser engines** for rendering and execution. * Enable **distributed, peer-to-peer builds and runtime execution** using WebRTC, custom protocols, and novel language constructs. * Build **isomorphic high-level languages** and frameworks that compile efficiently across multiple runtime layers while minimizing context switching and maximizing developer productivity. * Apply **AI, caching, and compression techniques** to improve performance and maintainability of large-scale software systems. --- ## **Core Inventions** ### **1. WDA / C(G)DA (Web / Chrome Driven Apps)** * Uses browser engines as **direct rendering canvases** for backend code via DevTools Protocol. * Inspired by **GoogleLabs Carlo**, enabling **runtime execution of code in multiple languages** inside a browser. * Goal: Replace Electron with **standard Chrome installations**, reducing the maintenance overhead of 100+ Electron instances per machine. ### **2. Cross-Platform Minimal Installers** * Minimalist deployment patterns for Node.js and similar runtimes. * Leverages existing browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) for UI rendering. * Focuses on reducing **context switching costs** and improving developer workflow efficiency. ### **3. Distributed Compiler Service (WiP)** * A next-generation replacement for **Goma** (Google’s distributed compiler). * Based on **WebRTC mesh networks**, **B8G**, **Stealify Lang**, and **Google Monorepo integration**. * Designed for **peer-to-peer distributed builds**, fault tolerance, and efficient synchronization. --- ## **Key Contributions** * **V8 Engine** * **GraalVM** (GraalJS, Graal-Node) * **Rollup** build system * Open-source ecosystem studies across multiple polyglot projects * Extensive research on **Chrome, ChromeOS, Fuchsia, Android**, and cross-platform development patterns --- ## **Research Areas** ### **1. Content Addressing & Computation** * Implemented inside **binary virtual machines** (V8, GraalVM). * Focused on **cross-platform reproducibility**, **binary snapshots**, and **incremental computation**. ### **2. Distributed Systems & Networking** * Custom WebRTC mesh networks, low-level protocols: **BGP, TCP, UDP**. * Developed **routing, consensus, and distributed hashing algorithms** for large-scale object synchronization. ### **3. Performance & Context Switching Optimization** * Investigated task offloading and **thread context switching reduction** in multi-threaded and distributed systems. * Improved **runtime efficiency** for high-concurrency applications. ### **4. Caching, JIT, and Compression** * Explored trade-offs between caching strategies and JIT compilation. * Developed **lossless neural network compression** for data deduplication and transfer optimization. ### **5. Software Maintenance & Deployment** * Created patterns for **incremental software quality growth** in large-scale projects. * Studied deployment strategies for **Linux distributions, Windows, and cross-platform runtimes**. --- ## **Language & Runtime Design** ### **Stealify Lang** * ECMAScript-inspired, template-literal-based **high-level language**. * Compiles isomorphically to multiple runtime targets for **cross-layer compatibility**. ### **B8G** * Minimal **v8::isolate** framework called **v8::spark**, with built-in methods for interprocess communication, I/O, and scheduling. * Abstracts process isolation while maintaining fine-grained runtime control. --- ## **AI & Computational Research** * Audited **9,000+ high-value AI papers**, applying insights selectively to: * Runtime optimization * Distributed computation * Compression and deduplication techniques --- ## **Ongoing Projects** * WiP distributed build system replacing Goma * Stealify Lang compiler enhancements * Cross-browser runtime optimization for Chrome, Safari, Firefox * Advanced content-addressed computation inside V8/GraalVM --- ## **Contact & GitHub** You will find it and reach me when you need to. ---
