Making sbt Macro-Aware

Macros made their first appearance as a fork of the Scala compiler and then as an experimental feature in the version 2.10.0 of Scala. Since macros are normal Scala functions that are executed by the compiler during the compilation of their clients, they c ...

Beyond KernelBoost

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Roberto Rigamonti

In this Technical Report we propose a set of improvements with respect to the KernelBoost classifier presented in [Becker et al., MICCAI 2013]. We start with a scheme inspired by Auto-Context, but that is suitable in situations where the lack of large trai ...

Scala-Virtualized: Linguistic Reuse for Deep Embeddings

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Philipp Haller, Nada Amin

Scala-Virtualized extends the Scala language to better support hosting embedded DSLs. Scala is an expressive language that provides a flexible syntax, type-level computation using implicits, and other features that facilitate the development of em- bedded ...

A Programming Workshop using the Robot "Thymio II": The Effect on the Understanding by Children

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Fanny Riedo

Robots are both fascinating objects for the general public and devices whose conception, understanding and pro- gramming involve many fields. This unique combination makes them an ideal tool for introducing science and technology to children. This paper pr ...

Jet: An Embedded DSL for High Performance Big Data Processing

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Vojin Jovanovic, Stefan Ackermann

Cluster computing systems today impose a trade-off between generality, performance and productivity. Hadoop and Dryad force programmers to write low level programs that are tedious to compose but easy to optimize. Systems like Dryad/LINQ and Spark allow co ...

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 ...

Atomic boxes: coordinated exception handling with transactional memory

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

In concurrent programs raising an exception in one thread does not prevent others from operating on an inconsistent shared state. Instead, exceptions should ideally be handled in coordination by all the threads that are affected by their cause. In this pap ...

Database Queries in Java

Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

In conventional programming languages like Java, the interface for accessing databases is often inelegant. Typically, an entire separate database query language must be embedded inside a conventional programming language for programmers to access the full ...

Energetic Macroscopic Representation and PSIM® simulation: application to a DC/DC converter input filter stability

Philippe Barrade

Simulation is a key issue in the design of control electrical systems. Simulation packages using component library, such as PSIM®, are very useful to achieve this goal. The simulation model is thus easily built from the system topology (structural model). ...

Development of Micro-Macro Continuum-Discontinuum Coupled Numerical Method

Gaofeng Zhao

A micro-macro and continuum-discontinuum coupled model and corresponding computer codes are developed in this thesis for rock dynamics study. Firstly, a new micromechanical model for describing the elastic continuum based on the underlying microstructure o ...
