A Comparative Analysis of Tools & Task Types for Measuring Computational Problem-Solving

Richard Lee Davis, Engin Walter Bumbacher, Jérôme Guillaume Brender

How to measure students' Computational Problem-Solving (CPS) competencies is an ongoing research topic. Prevalent approaches vary by measurement tools (e.g., interactive programming, multiple-choice tests, or programming-independent tests) and task types ( ...

Immediate Tracing

Valentin Aebi

This semester project report describes a prototype tracing tool that records the behavior of a Java program during its execution. It explains the two methods that were attempted to implement the tool, one using the Java debug interface, which gave poor res ...

A Dynamically Scheduled HLS Flow in MLIR

Morten Borup Petersen

In High-Level Synthesis (HLS), we consider abstractions that span from software to hardware and target heterogeneous architectures. Therefore, managing the complexity introduced by this is key to implementing good, maintainable, and extendible HLS compiler ...

Automated Verification of Network Function Binaries

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli

Formally verifying the correctness of software network functions (NFs) is necessary for network reliability, yet existing techniques require full source code and mandate the use of specific data structures. We describe an automated technique to verify NF b ...

Computer Algebraic Approach to Verification and Debugging of Galois Field Multipliers

Cunxi Yu, Maciej Jerzy Ciesielski

The paper presents a novel method to verify and debug gate-level arithmetic circuits implemented in Galois Field arithmetic. The method is based on forward reduction of the specification polynomials of the circuit in GF(2(m)) using GF(2) models of its logi ...

Satisfiability-Based Methods for Digital Circuit Design, Debug, and Optimization

Andrew James Becker

Designing digital circuits well is notoriously difficult. This difficulty stems in part from the very many degrees of freedom inherent in circuit design, typically coupled with the need to satisfy various constraints. In this thesis, we demonstrate how for ...

Decrypting Local Type Inference

Hubert Plociniczak

Statically typed languages verify programs at compile-time. As a result many programming mistakes are detected at an early stage of development. A programmer does not have to specify types for every single term manually, however. Many programming languages ...

Locking Made Easy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos, Jelena Antic

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

The Linux Scheduler: A Decade of Wasted Cores

Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers

As a central part of resource management, the OS thread scheduler must maintain the following, simple, invariant: make sure that ready threads are scheduled on available cores. As simple as it may seem, we found that this invari- ant is often broken in Lin ...

FudgeFactor: Syntax-Guided Synthesis for Accurate RTL Error Localization and Correction

Paolo Ienne, Barbara Jobstmann, David Novo Bruna, Andrew James Becker, Mohsen A A Ewaida

Functional verification occupies a significant amount of the digital circuit design cycle. In this paper, we present a novel approach to improve circuit debugging which not only localizes errors with high confidence, but can also provide semantically-meani ...
