A Comparative Analysis of Tools & Task Types for Measuring Computational Problem-Solving

Richard Lee Davis, Engin Walter Bumbacher, Jérôme Guillaume Brender

How to measure students' Computational Problem-Solving (CPS) competencies is an ongoing research topic. Prevalent approaches vary by measurement tools (e.g., interactive programming, multiple-choice tests, or programming-independent tests) and task types ( ...

A Dynamically Scheduled HLS Flow in MLIR

Morten Borup Petersen

In High-Level Synthesis (HLS), we consider abstractions that span from software to hardware and target heterogeneous architectures. Therefore, managing the complexity introduced by this is key to implementing good, maintainable, and extendible HLS compiler ...

Automated Verification of Network Function Binaries

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli

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 ...

Satisfiability-Based Methods for Digital Circuit Design, Debug, and Optimization

Andrew James Becker

Designing digital circuits well is notoriously difficult. This difficulty stems in part from the very many degrees of freedom inherent in circuit design, typically coupled with the need to satisfy various constraints. In this thesis, we demonstrate how for ...

Decrypting Local Type Inference

Hubert Plociniczak

Statically typed languages verify programs at compile-time. As a result many programming mistakes are detected at an early stage of development. A programmer does not have to specify types for every single term manually, however. Many programming languages ...

Locking Made Easy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos, Jelena Antic

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

Improving Human-Compiler Interaction Through Customizable Type Feedback

Martin Odersky, Hubert Plociniczak

Type errors reported by compilers can sometimes be cryptic, or difficult to understand. In this paper, we propose a type debugging framework that exposes a high-level representation of the typechecking decision-making process that users normally do not hav ...

Mitigating Anonymity Challenges in Automated Testing and Debugging Systems

George Candea, Silviu Andrica

Modern software often provides automated testing and bug reporting facilities that enable developers to improve the software after release. Alas, this comes at the cost of user anonymity: reported execution traces may identify users. We present a way to mi ...

Execution Synthesis: A Technique for Automating the Debugging of Software

Cristian Zamfir

Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the target code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information for debugging, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the prog ...

Implementing a Type Debugger for Scala

Martin Odersky, Hubert Plociniczak

Statically-typed languages offer type systems that are less and less comprehensible for programmers as the language grows in complexity. In this paper, we present a type debugger, a tool that enables analysis of type-related problems as well as exploration ...
