Surgical Precision JIT Compilers

Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic prof ...

Near Optimal Work-Stealing Tree Scheduler for Highly Irregular Data-Parallel Workloads

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

We present a work-stealing algorithm for runtime scheduling of data-parallel operations in the context of shared-memory architectures on data sets with highly-irregular workloads that are not known a priori to the scheduler. This scheduler can parallelize ...

Staged parser combinators for efficient data processing

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Sandro Stucki, Manohar Jonnalagedda, Thierry Coppey

Parsers are ubiquitous in computing, and many applications depend on their performance for decoding data efficiently. Parser combinators are an intuitive tool for writing parsers: tight integration with the host language enables grammar specifications to b ...

Lightweight Modular Staging: A Pragmatic Approach to Runtime Code Generation and Compiled DSLs

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Good software engineering practice demands generalization and abstraction, whereas high performance demands specialization and concretization. These goals are at odds, and compilers can only rarely translate expressive high-level programs to modern hardwar ...

Robust Software Partitioning with Multiple Instantiation

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

The purpose of software partitioning is to assign code segments of a given computer program to a range of execution locations such as general-purpose processors or specialist hardware components. These execution locations differ in speed, communication cha ...

Fine-grained Parallel Traversals of Irregular Data Structures

James Richard Larus

Fine-grain data parallelism is increasingly common in mainstream processors in the form of long vectors and on-chip GPUs. This paper develops compiler and runtime support to exploit such data parallelism for non-numeric, non-graphic, irregular parallel tas ...

Significance Driven Computation on Next-Generation Unreliable Platforms

Vaibhav Gupta, Georgios Karakonstantis

In this paper, we propose a design paradigm for energy efficient and variation-aware operation of next-generation multicore heterogeneous platforms. The main idea behind the proposed approach lies on the observation that not all operations are equally impo ...

Performance Profiling of Virtual Machines

Willy Zwaenepoel, Jiaqing Du

Profilers based on hardware performance counters are indispensable for performance debugging of complex software systems. All modern processors feature hardware performance counters, but current virtual machine monitors (VMMs) do not properly expose them t ...

Local Model Checking

Rachid Guerraoui, Maysam Yabandeh

Current approaches to model checking distributed systems reduce the problem to that of model checking centralized systems: global states involving all nodes and communication links are systematically explored. The frequent changes in the network element of ...
