Reﬂexes: Abstractions for Integrating Highly Responsive Tasks into Java Applications

Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper Honig Spring

Achieving submillisecond response times in a managed language environment such as Java or C# requires overcoming signiﬁcant challenges. In this article, we propose Reﬂexes, a programming model and runtime system infrastructure that lets developers seamless ...

iProve: A Scalable Approach to Consumer-Verifiable Software Guarantees

George Candea, Horatiu Jula, Silviu Andrica

Formally proving complex program properties is still considered impractical for systems with over a million lines of code (MLOC). We present iProve, an approach that enables the generation and verification of proofs for interesting program properties in la ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classical transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improv ...

Complete Program Synthesis for Linear Arithmetic

Mikaël Mayer

Synthesis of programs or their fragments is a way to write programs by providing only their meaning without worrying about the implementation details. It avoids the drawback of writing sequential code, which might be difficult to check, error-prone or tedi ...

Scheduling periodic tasks in a hard real-time environment

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier, Nicolai Hähnle

We give a rigorous account on the complexity landscape of an important real-time scheduling problem that occurs in the design of software-based aircraft control. The goal is to distribute tasks

\tau_i=(c_i,p_i)

on a minimum number of identical machines a ...

Exploration of Memory Hierarchy Configurations for Efficient Garbage Collection on High-Performance Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso

Modern embedded devices (e.g., PDAs, mobile phones) are now incorporating Java as a very popular implementation language in their designs. These new embedded systems include multiple applications that are dynamically launched by the user, which can produce ...

Programming language abstractions for mobile code

Stéphane Micheloud

Scala is a general-purpose programming language developed at EPFL. It combines the most important concepts found in object-oriented and functional languages. Scala is a statically typed language; in particular it features an advanced type system and suppor ...

High-Performance Transactional Event Processing

Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper Honig Spring, Antonio Cunei

This paper presents a transactional framework for low-latency, high-performance, concurrent event processing in Java. At the heart of our framework lies Reﬂexes, a restricted programming model for highly responsive systems. A Reﬂex task is an event process ...

State Exploration of Scala Actor Programs

Mirco Dotta

The growing use of multicore and networked computing systems is increasing the importance of developing reliable parallel and distributed code. Unfortunately, developing and testing such code is notoriously hard, especially for shared-memory models of prog ...

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 ...
