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 ...

Learning to Automate the Design Updates From Observed Engineering Changes in the Chip Development Cycle

Heinz Riener

The behavioral revisions to the design are frequent in the late stage of the semiconductor chip development. Quite often, their realization emphasizes incrementality that seeks minimum perturbation of the existing implementation. This tutorial paper poses ...

Visbrain: A Multi-Purpose GPU-Accelerated Open-Source Suite for Multimodal Brain Data Visualization

Christian O'Reilly, Raphaël Vallat

We present Visbrain, a Python open-source package that offers a comprehensive visualization suite for neuroimaging and electrophysiological brain data. Visbrain consists of two levels of abstraction: (1) objects which represent highly configurable neuroori ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Aleksandar Prokopec, Fengyun Liu

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to understand and maintain. Coroutines are a general control flow construct that can ...

Unifying Analytic and Statically-Typed Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Metaprograms are programs that manipulate (generate, analyze and evaluate) other programs. These tasks are greatly facilitated by quasiquotation, a technique to construct and deconstruct program fragments using quoted code templates expressed in the syntax ...

Optimal solution and asymptotic properties of a stochastic control problem arising in sailboat trajectory optimization

Carlo Ciccarella

We study the optimal strategy for a sailboat to reach an upwind island under the hypothesis that the wind direction fluctuates according to a Brownian motion and the wind speed is constant. The work is motivated by a concrete problem which typically arises ...

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 ...

Verification by Reduction to Functional Programs

Régis William Blanc

In this thesis, we explore techniques for the development and verification of programs in a high-level, expressive, and safe programming language. Our programs can express problems over unbounded domains and over recursive and mutable data structures. We p ...

Computationally Efficient Multiple-Independent-Gate Device Model

Giovanni De Micheli, Mariagrazia Graziano, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Gianluca Piccinini

Nanowire Field Effect Transistors (FETs) with multiple independent gates around a silicon channel feature ultimate gate control and are regarded as promising candidates for next generation transistors. Being inherently more complex than conventional gate-a ...

Functional Pearl: A SQL to C Compiler in 500 Lines of Code

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin

We present the design and implementation of a SQL query processor that outperforms existing database systems and is written in just about 500 lines of Scala code - a convincing case study that high-level functional programming can handily beat C for system ...
