Improving the Performance of Scala Collections with Miniboxing

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche, Aymeric Genet

Using generics, Scala collections can be used to store different types of data in a type-safe manner. Unfortunately, due to the erasure transformation, the performance of generics is degraded when storing primitive types, such as integers and floating poin ...

Code-Pointer Integrity

George Candea, Mathias Josef Payer, Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management to programmers. This invites memory safety bugs that attackers can exploit to divert control flow and compromise the system. Depl ...

Memory Power Optimization of Java-Based Embedded Systems Exploiting Garbage Collection Information

David Atienza Alonso

Nowadays, Java is used in all types of embedded devices. For these memory-constrained systems, the automatic dynamicmemorymanager (Garbage Collector or GC) has been always a key factor in terms of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. Moreover, in cu ...
