Safe Low-Level Code Without Overhead is Practical

Developers write low-level systems code in unsafe programming languages due to performance concerns. The lack of safety causes bugs and vulnerabilities that safe languages avoid. We argue that safety without run-time overhead is possible through type invar ...

Preventing Use-After-Free Attacks with Fast Forward Allocation

Sanidhya Kashyap, Jungwon Lim

Memory-unsafe languages are widely used to implement critical systems like kernels and browsers, leading to thousands of memory safety issues every year. A use-after-free bug is a temporal memory error where the program accidentally visits a freed memory l ...

Biosensors for Bimolecular Computing: a Review and Future Perspectives

Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa

Biomolecular computing is the field of engineering where computation, storage, communication, and coding are obtained by exploiting interactions between biomolecules, especially DNA, RNA, and enzymes. They are a promising solution in a long-term vision, br ...

System Support for Efficient Replication in Distributed Systems

Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi

Current online applications, such as search engines, social networks, or file sharing services, execute across a distributed network of machines. They provide non-stop services to their users despite failures in the underlying network. To achieve such a hi ...

Fine-Grain Checkpointing with In-Cache-Line Logging

James Richard Larus, David Teksen Aksun, Nachshon Cohen

Non-Volatile Memory offers the possibility of implementing high-performance, durable data structures. However, achieving performance comparable to well-designed data structures in non-persistent (transient) memory is difficult, primarily because of the cos ...

Pyroomacoustics: A Python Package For Audio Room Simulation And Array Processing Algorithms

Eric Bezzam, Ivan Dokmanic, Robin Scheibler

We present pyroomacoustics, a software package aimed at the rapid development and testing of audio array processing algorithms. The content of the package can be divided into three main components: an intuitive Python object-oriented interface to quickly c ...

Every data structure deserves lock-free memory reclamation

Nachshon Cohen

Memory-management support for lock-free data structures is well known to be a tough problem. Recent work has successfully reduced the overhead of such schemes. However, applying memory-management support to a data structure remains complex and, in many cas ...

SMT-Based Checking of Predicate-Qualified Types for Scala

Viktor Kuncak, Georg Stefan Schmid

We present qualified types for Scala, a form of refinement types adapted to the Scala language. Qualified types allow users to refine base types and classes using predicate expressions. We implemented a type checker for qualified types that is embedded in ...

Fast and Robust Memory Reclamation for Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Oana Maria Balmau

In concurrent systems without automatic garbage collection, it is challenging to determine when it is safe to reclaim memory, especially for lock-free data structures. Existing concurrent memory reclamation schemes are either fast but do not tolerate proce ...
