Squid: Type-Safe, Hygienic, and Reusable Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Quasiquotes have been shown to greatly simplify the task of metaprogramming. This is in part because they hide the data structures of the intermediate representation (IR), instead allowing metaprogrammers to use the concrete syntax of the language they man ...

Reliable and Real-Time Distributed Abstractions

David Kozhaya

The celebrated distributed computing approach for building systems and services using multiple machines continues to expand to new domains. Computation devices nowadays have additional sensing and communication capabilities, while becoming, at the same tim ...

The Programmable Logic-in-Memory (PLiM) Computer (Invited)

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Anupam Chattopadhyay

Realization of logic and storage operations in memristive circuits have opened up a promising research direction of in-memory computing. Elementary digital circuits, e.g., Boolean arithmetic circuits, can be economically realized within memristive circuits ...

Dependent Object Types

Nada Amin

A scalable programming language is one in which the same concepts can describe small as well as large parts. Towards this goal, Scala unifies concepts from object and module systems. In particular, objects can contain type members, which can be selected as ...

Generating Configurable Hardware from Parallel Patterns

Christos Kozyrakis

In recent years the computing landscape has seen an increasing shift towards specialized accelerators. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are particularly promising for the implementation of these accelerators, as they offer significant performance and ...

Right On Time Distributed Shared Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, David Kozhaya, Yvonne Anne Pignolet-Oswald

The demand for real-time data storage in distributed control systems (DCSs) is growing. Yet, providing real- time DCS guarantees is challenging, especially when more and more sensor and actuator devices are connected to industrial plants and message loss n ...

Uniting Language Embeddings for Fast and Friendly DSLs

Vojin Jovanovic

The holy grail for a domain-specific language (DSL) is to be friendly and fast. A DSL should be friendly in the sense that it is easy to use by DSL end-users, and easy to develop by DSL authors. DSLs can be developed as entirely new compilers and ecosystem ...

Isolates, channels, and event streams for composable distributed programming

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

The actor model has been a model of choice for building reliable distributed systems. On one hand, it ensures that message-processing is serialized within each actor, preserving the familiar sequential programming model. On the other hand, programs written ...

Verification of Component-based Systems via Predicate Abstraction and Simultaneous Set Reduction

Simon Bliudze, Qiang Wang

This paper presents a novel safety property verification approach for component-based systems modelled in BIP (Behaviour, Interaction and Priority), encompassing multiparty synchronisation with data transfer and priority. Our contributions consist of: (1 ...
