Towards Predicting Success in MOOCs: Programming Assignments

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Kshitij Sharma, Lukasz Kidzinski

Students of programming languages in massive on-line open courses (MOOCs) solve programming assignments in order to internalize the concepts. Programming assignments also constitute the assessment procedure for such courses. Depending on their motivation a ...

Abstraction without regret in database systems building: a manifesto

Christoph Koch

It has been said that all problems in computer science can be solved by adding another level of indirection, except for performance problems, which are solved by removing levels of indirection. Compilers are our tools for removing levels of indirection aut ...

Building Efficient Query Engines in a High-Level Language

Christoph Koch, Ioannis Klonatos, Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

In this paper we advocate that it is time for a radical rethinking of database systems design. Developers should be able to leverage high-level programming languages without having to pay a price in efficiency. To realize our vision of abstraction without ...

Forge: Generating a High Performance DSL Implementation from a Declarative Specification

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Domain-specific languages provide a promising path to automatically compile high-level code to parallel, heterogeneous, and distributed hardware. However, in practice high performance DSLs still require considerable software expertise to develop and force ...

Using Reified Types for Specialization

Nicolas Alexander Stucki

Generic code increases programmer productivity as it increases code reuse. For example, the LinkedList abstraction can be used in many contexts, from storing a list of numbers to storing representations of files on the disk. Unfortunately this comes at the ...

An Embedded Query Language in Scala

Amir Shaikhha

In this thesis we address the problem of integrating general purpose programming languages with relational databases. An approach to solving this problem is using raw strings to represent SQL statements. This approach leads to runtime errors and security v ...

It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

James Richard Larus

The end of Dennard scaling and the imminent end of semiconductor feature scaling means that software systems and applications will no longer benefit from 40% per annum performance increases, a continually rising tide that lifted all boats. Future software ...
