This manual will be useful for people looking to extend R with the C compiled code. The motivation for using the C interface with R may be bidirectional. For statisticians programming mainly in R, an interface to C provides fast execution of code and bette ...
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 ...
Metamodeling is raising more and more interest in the field of language engineering. While this approach is now well understood for the definition of abstract syntaxes, the formal definition of concrete syntaxes is still a challenge. Concrete syntaxes are ...
A problem that often has to be solved by compilers for functional languages targeting the Java Virtual Machine is the elimination of tail calls. This paper explains how we solved it in our Funnel compiler and presents some experimental results about the im ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Code instrumentation is finding more and more practical applications, but the required program transformations are often difficult to implement, due to the lack of dedicated, high-level tools. In this paper we present a novel instrumentation framework that ...
This paper proposes the Implicitly-MultiThreaded (IMT) architecture to execute compiler-specified speculative threads on to a modified Simultaneous Multithreading pipeline. IMT reduces hardware complexity by relying on the compiler to select suitable threa ...
We describe an integrated compile-time and run-time system for efficient shared memory parallel computing on distributed memory machines. The combined system presents the user with a shared memory programming model, with its well-known benefits in terms of ...
