Cluster computing systems today impose a trade-off between generality, performance and productivity. Hadoop and Dryad force programmers to write low level programs that are tedious to compose but easy to optimize. Systems like Dryad/LINQ and Spark allow co ...

JavaScript as an Embedded DSL

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Grzegorz Kossakowski

Developing rich web applications requires mastering different environments on the client and server sides. While there is considerable choice on the server-side, the client-side is tied to JavaScript, which poses substantial software engineering challenges ...

Lightweight Modular Staging and Embedded Compilers

Tiark Rompf

Programs expressed in a high-level programming language need to be translated to a low-level machine dialect for execution. This translation is usually accomplished by a compiler, which is able to translate any legal program to equivalent low-level code. B ...

High level data structures are a cornerstone of modern programming and at the same time stand in the way of compiler optimizations. In order to reason about user or library defined data structures compilers need to be extensible. Common mechanisms to exten ...

Lightweight Modular Staging: A Pragmatic Approach to Runtime Code Generation and Compiled DSLs

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Good software engineering practice demands generalization and abstraction, whereas high performance demands specialization and concretization. These goals are at odds, and compilers can only rarely translate expressive high-level programs to modern hardwar ...

StagedSAC: a case study in performance-oriented DSL development

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Vlad Ureche, Hassan Chafi

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) can bridge the gap between high-level programming and efficient execution. However, implementing compiler tool-chains for performance oriented DSLs requires significant effort. Recent research has produced methodologies and ...

RRB-Trees: Efficient Immutable Vectors

Tiark Rompf

Immutable vectors are a convenient data structure for functional programming and part of the standard library of modern languages like Clojure and Scala. The common implementation is based on wide trees with a fixed number of children per node, which allow ...

On A Generic Parallel Collection Framework

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Aleksandar Prokopec

As the number of cores increases in modern multiprocessors, it is becoming increasingly difficult to write general purpose applications that efficiently utilize this computing power. Most applications manipulate structured data. Modern languages and platfo ...

A cryptographically t-private auction system

Tiark Rompf

We present a cryptographically t-private protocol for electronic auctions whose low resource demands make it viable for practical use. Our construction is based on Yao's garbled circuits and pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs). Our protocol involves a f ...

Language Virtualization for Heterogeneous Parallel Computing

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

As heterogeneous parallel systems become dominant, application developers are being forced to turn to an incompatible mix of low level programming models (e.g. OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, OpenCL). However, these models do little to shield developers from the diffic ...
