"A Home”: Östberg’s search for the total artwork

Chiara Monterumisi

This paper analyses the short pamphlet -"Ett hem. Dess byggnad och inredning" (Eng. "A Home. Its construction and interior design", 15 pages)- written in 1905 by Swedish architect Ragnar Östberg (1866-1945). It encapsulates the Nordic devotion to craft, in ...

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 ...

Shadows of the South. Venetian fragments from Ragnar Östberg’s travelogue

Chiara Monterumisi

After centuries of popularity, late 19th century educational travel began to change and lose something of the 18th century aristocratic Grand Tour. The South remained the focus of interest, the cradle of that culture from which Europe’s own had grown. Swed ...

Miniboxing: Improving the Speed to Code Size Tradeoff in Parametric Polymorphism Translations

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche, Cristian Talau

Parametric polymorphism enables code reuse and type safety. Underneath the uniform interface exposed to programmers, however, its low level implementation has to cope with inherently non-uniform data: value types of different sizes and semantics (bytes, in ...

Thick Boundaries in Binary Space and Their Influence on Nearest-Neighbor Search

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Tomasz Piotr Trzcinski

Binary descriptors allow faster similarity computation than real-valued ones while requiring much less storage. As a result, many algorithms have recently been proposed to binarize ﬂoating-point descriptors so that they can be searched for quickly. Unfortu ...

Miniboxing: An Encoding for Specialization

Cristian Talau

In the presence of parametric polymorphism, erasure-based languages such as Java and Scala handle primitives (boolean values, integers and floating point numbers) in a suboptimal way: in order to provide a uniform representation on the low level, all primi ...

Trustworthy Numerical Computation in Scala

Viktor Kuncak, Eva Darulova

Modern computing has adopted the floating point type as a default way to describe computations with real numbers. Thanks to dedicated hardware support, such computations are efficient on modern architectures. However, rigorous reasoning about the resulting ...

On Rigorous Numerical Computation as a Scala Library

Viktor Kuncak, Eva Darulova

Modern programming languages have adopted the floating point type as a way to describe computations with real numbers. Thanks to the hardware support, such computations are efficient on modern architectures. However, rigorous reasoning about the resulting ...

Rigorous solution techniques for numerical constraint satisfaction problems

Xuan-Ha Vu

A constraint satisfaction problem (e.g., a system of equations and inequalities) consists of a finite set of constraints specifying which value combinations from given variable domains are admitted. It is called numerical if its variable domains are contin ...

Adding limited reconfigurability to superscalar processors

Marc Epalza

For the last thirty years, electronics, at first built with discrete components, and then as Integrated Circuits (IC), have brought diverse and lasting improvements to our quality of life. Examples might include digital calculators, automotive and airplane ...
