Scala Macros: Let Our Powers Combine!

Eugene Burmako

Compile-time metaprogramming has been proven immensely useful enabling programming techniques such as language virtualization, embedding of external DSLs, self-optimization, and boilerplate generation amongst many others. In the recent production release o ...

Compiling structural types on the JVM: a comparison of reflective and generative techniques from Scala's perspective

Martin Odersky, Gilles Dubochet

This article describes Scala's compilation technique of structural types for the JVM. The technique uses Java reflection and polymorphic inline caches. Performance measurements of this technique are presented and analysed. Further measurements compare Scal ...

Reflective Program Teneration with Patterns

James Richard Larus

Runtime reflection facilities, as present in Java and .NET, are powerful mechanisms for inspecting existing code and metadata, as well as generating new code and metadata on the fly. Such power does come at a high price though. The runtime reflection suppo ...

Unifying software and hardware of multithreaded reconfigurable applications within operating system processes

Miljan Vuletic

Novel reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) devices offer combining software with application-specific hardware accelerators to speed up applications. However, by mixing user software and user hardware, principal programming abstractions and system-software ...

Compiling scala for the Java virtual machine

Michel Schinz

Scala is a new programming language developed at EPFL and incorporating the most important concepts of object-oriented and functional languages. It aims at integrating well with the Java and .NET platforms: their respective libraries are accessible without ...

NASCENT: Network Layer Service for Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jun Luo

Many envisioned applications of ad hoc networks involve only small-scale networks that we term Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups (VAGs). Distributed coordination services, instead of pairwise communications, are the primary requirements of VAGs. Existing designs for ...

Loop-Level Parallelism in Numeric and Symbolic Programs

James Richard Larus

A new technique for estimating and understanding the speed improvement that can result from executing a program on a parallel computer is described. The technique requires no additional programming and minimal effort by a program's author. The analysis beg ...

Dynamic Program Parallelization

James Richard Larus

Static program analysis limits the performance improvements possible from compile-time parallelization. Dynamic program parallelization shifts a portion of the analysis from complie-time to run-time, thereby enabling optimizations whose static detection is ...
