Hello everyone!

I am investigating the WAMR runtime and Wasm applications used in real-world scenarios.
I would need a big pool of apps compiled to Wasm/WASIp1 (since WAMR does not support Component Model yet), possibly with their source code too. I have been trying to compile C/C++ and Rust projects from GitHub, but I have only managed to get something like 30 apps.
Are you aware of some open-source projects or already compiled Wasm modules that might be useful?
Any help would be great!

Thank you in advance! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

You may find some as benchmarks in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/sightglass.

Thank you @Andrew Brown , I will look at your suggestion.
As of full apps, rather than benchmarks, is there something you could suggest as well?

I checked the apps you suggested and unfortunately they don't run with WAMR, which lacks simd feature :pensive:

I believe WAMR does support SIMD, though, so there may be some flag you need? @Wang Xin? @Alessio Pavoni, what do you mean by "apps" here?

I get WASM module load failed: v128 value type requires simd feature when running WAMR with SGX, I don't see the same error when using regular WAMR but rather a bunch of fast jit compilation failed: Error: unsupported opcode errors, I imagined it stemmed from the same thing.

By "apps" I mean complete software that is being compiled to WASM. So far, I have database apps (SQLite), compression engines (FFmpeg), speech synthesis engines (Flite)... I have been looking for these pieces of software in GitHub, but the process of finding good ones that are compilable to WASM is very tiring and time-consuming.
Ideally, but not exclusively, I am looking for code with a CLI that I can use in WASM as I would do (or almost, if some features are not compilable) in native.
