Towards General-Purpose Decentralized Computing with Permissionless Extensibility

Smart contracts have emerged as the most promising foundations for applications of the blockchain technology. Even though smart contracts are expected to serve as the backbone of the next-generation web, they have several limitations that hinder their wide ...

When Subtyping Constraints Liberate A Novel Type Inference Approach for First-Class Polymorphism

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Type inference in the presence of first-class or "impredicative" second-order polymorphism a la System F has been an active research area for several decades, with original works dating back to the end of the 80s. Yet, until now many basic problems remain ...

Acceleration of Control Intensive Applications on Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Arrays for Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso, Miguel Peon Quiros, Benoît Walter Denkinger

Embedded systems confront two opposite goals: low-power operation and high performance. The current trend to reach these goals is toward heterogeneous platforms, including multi-core architectures with heterogeneous cores and hardware accelerators. The lat ...

Harnessing Rule-Based Chatbots to Support Teaching Python Programming Best Practices

Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah, Sandy Ingram, Adrian Christian Holzer

In recent years, the use of chatbots in education has been driven by advances in natural language processing and the increasing availability of digital education platforms. Although the added value of educational chatbots appears promising, researchers hav ...

LISA – A Modern Proof System

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud, Sankalp Gambhir

We present LISA, a proof system and proof assistant for constructing proofs in schematic first-order logic and axiomatic set theory. The logical kernel of the system is a proof checker for first-order logic with equality and schematic predicate and fun ...

Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

Automated Verification of Network Function Binaries

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Aikaterini Argyraki

Formally verifying the correctness of software network functions (NFs) is necessary for network reliability, yet existing techniques require full source code and mandate the use of specific data structures. We describe an automated technique to verify NF b ...

From C/C plus plus Code to High-Performance Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools typically generate statically scheduled datapaths. Static scheduling implies that the resulting circuits have a hard time exploiting parallelism in code with potential memory dependences, with control dependences, or where ...

Type-Safe Metaprogramming and Compilation Techniques For Designing Efficient Systems in High-Level Languages

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...

Functional BIP: Embedding connectors in functional programming languages

Romain Edelmann, Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze

This paper presents a theoretical foundation for functional language implementations of Behaviour–Interaction–Priority (BIP). We introduce a set of connector combinators describing synchronisation, data transfer, priorities and dynamicity in a principled w ...

A roadmap for the development of precision medicine

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin, Gérard Escher

The purpose of the roadmap proposed by IRGC is to recommend a structured process that organisations can follow in their transition towards the development of precision medicine. The process is adaptable, and each organisation should further develop it to a ...

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 ...

Compile-Time Type-Driven Data Representation Transformations in Object-Oriented Languages

Vlad Ureche

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

Sensitivity Analysis of a Bottom Reflood Simulation using Morris Screening Method

Andreas Pautz, Damar Canggih Wicaksono, Omar Zerkak

In the work presented in this paper, a sensitivity analysis using the Morris screening method was carried out for a model of the Flooding Experiment with Blocked Arrays (FEBA) separate-effect test facility. The sensitivity analysis was conducted in the con ...

Delite: A Compiler Architecture for Performance-Oriented Embedded Domain-Specific Languages

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

Developing high-performance software is a difficult task that requires the use of low-level, architecture-specific programming models (e.g., OpenMP for CMPs, CUDA for GPUs, MPI for clusters). It is typically not possible to write a single application that ...

Spiral in Scala: Towards the Systematic Construction of Generators for Performance Libraries

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Alen Stojanov

Program generators for high performance libraries are an appealing solution to the recurring problem of porting and optimizing code with every new processor generation, but only few such generators exist to date. This is due to not only the difficulty of t ...

Forge: Generating a High Performance DSL Implementation from a Declarative Specification

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Domain-specific languages provide a promising path to automatically compile high-level code to parallel, heterogeneous, and distributed hardware. However, in practice high performance DSLs still require considerable software expertise to develop and force ...

Yin-yang: concealing the deep embedding of DSLs

Martin Odersky, Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Sandro Stucki, Vojin Jovanovic, Vladimir Nikolaev

Deeply embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) intrinsically compromise programmer experience for improved program performance. Shallow EDSLs complement them by trading program performance for good programmer experience. We present Yin-Yang, a framework ...
