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

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 ...

Building Efficient Query Engines in a High-Level Language

Christoph Koch, Ioannis Klonatos, Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

In this paper we advocate that it is time for a radical rethinking of database systems design. Developers should be able to leverage high-level programming languages without having to pay a price in efficiency. To realize our vision of abstraction without ...

Broad New OS Research: Challenges and Opportunities

James Richard Larus

Contemporary software systems are beset by problems that create challenges and opportunities for broad new OS research. To illustrate, we describe five areas where broad OS research could significantly improve the current user experience. These areas are d ...

Multiplex: Unifying conventional and speculative thread-level parallelism on a chip multiprocessor

Babak Falsafi

Recent proposals for Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) advocate speculative, or implicit, threading in which the hardware employs prediction to peel off instruction sequences (i.e., implicit threads) from the sequential execution stream and speculatively execute ...

A virtual model for simulation and design of architectures in MPEG-4 audio and multimedia context

Giorgio Zoia

Research in multimedia for consumer electronics is dominated by the problem of incredibly short times-to-market, that means fast complexity estimations and fast design of new architectures. On one side more and more sophisticated and flexible applications ...

Specifying the Semantics of Machine Instructions

Shane Sendall

Computer architecture manuals describe the instruction set of the machine and the semantics of those instructions by a combination of natural language and ISP (Instruction Set Processor) descriptions. The syntax of the instructions in assembly is well defi ...
