Optimization of Portable Parallel Signal Processing Applications by Design Space Exploration of Dataflow Programs

Marco Mattavelli, Christophe Lucarz

This paper describes a methodology for the optimization of portable parallel signal processing applications specified by dataflow programs. The use of dataflow as a programming model for signal processing applications targeting parallel platforms provides ...

On Rigorous Numerical Computation as a Scala Library

Viktor Kuncak, Eva Darulova

Modern programming languages have adopted the floating point type as a way to describe computations with real numbers. Thanks to the hardware support, such computations are efficient on modern architectures. However, rigorous reasoning about the resulting ...

The VELOX Transactional Memory Stack

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

The adoption of multi- and many-core architectures for mainstream computing undoubtedly brings profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine grained locking as the multi-core programmer’s coordination methodology is cons ...

JErlang: Erlang with Joins

Hubert Plociniczak

ERLANG is an industrially successful functional language that uses the Actor model for concurrency. It supports the message-passing paradigm by providing pattern-matching over received messages. Unfortunately coding synchronisation between multiple process ...

Type Classes as Objects and Implicits

Martin Odersky

Type classes were originally developed in Haskell as a disciplined alternative to ad-hoc polymorphism. Type classes have been shown to provide a type-safe solution to important challenges in software engineering and programming languages such as, for examp ...

Source-to-source architecture transformation for performance optimization in BIP

Joseph Sifakis

Behavior, Interaction, Priorities (BIP) is a component framework for constructing systems from a set of atomic components by using two kinds of composition operators: interactions and priorities. In this paper, we present a method that transforms the inter ...

Overview of the MPEG Reconfigurable Video Coding Framework

Marco Mattavelli, Christophe Lucarz

Video coding technology in the last 20 years has evolved producing a variety of diff erent and complex algorithms and coding standards. So far the speciﬁcation of such standards, and of the algorithms that build them, has been done case by case providing m ...

On Complete Functional Synthesis

Viktor Kuncak, Mikaël Mayer, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Synthesis of program fragments from specifications can make programs easier to write and easier to reason about. To integrate synthesis into programming languages, synthesis algorithms should behave in a predictable way---they should succeed for a well-def ...

Computer Code as a Medium for Human Communication: Are Programming Languages Improving?

Gilles Dubochet

Programming languages are not only useful to command computers, they also increasingly are a medium for human communication. I will use the framework of distributed cognition to discuss how knowledge is shared in a team of programmers and to show that comp ...

Simplifying Distributed System Development

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh, Nedeljko Vasic

Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this complexity, the implementation of a distributed system often contains the ba ...
