Unification of Compile-Time and Runtime Metaprogramming in Scala

Eugene Burmako

Metaprogramming is a technique that consists in writing programs that treat other programs as data. This paradigm of software development contributes to a multitude of approaches that improve programmer productivity, including code generation, program anal ...

Program Analysis and Compilation Techniques for Speeding up Transactional Database Workloads

Mohammad Dashti Rahmat Abadi

There is a trend towards increased specialization of data management software for performance reasons. The improved performance not only leads to a more efficient usage of the underlying hardware and cuts the operation costs of the system, but also is a ga ...

Miniphases: Compilation using Modular and Efficient Tree Transformations

Martin Odersky, Dmytro Petrashko, Ondrej Lhoták

Production compilers commonly perform dozens of transformations on an intermediate representation. Running those transformations in separate passes harms performance. One approach to recover performance is to combine transformations by hand in order to red ...

High System-Code Security with Low Overhead

George Candea, Johannes Kinder, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Jonas Benedict Wagner

Security vulnerabilities plague modern systems because writing secure systems code is hard. Promising approaches can retrofit security automatically via runtime checks that implement the desired security policy; these checks guard critical operations, like ...

Compile-Time Type-Driven Data Representation Transformations in Object-Oriented Languages

Vlad Ureche

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

Surgical Precision JIT Compilers

Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic prof ...

Scala AST Persistence

Adrien Ghosn, Eugene Burmako, Mathieu Baptiste Demarne

The Scala compiler uses ASTs (abstract syntax trees) as an intermediate representation before generating bytecode. With the development of Scala macros which expand trees at compile time, being able to access, modify and recompose ASTs within the compilati ...

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 ...

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 ...

Programming with Specifications

Philippe Paul Henri Suter

This thesis explores the use of specifications for the construction of correct programs. We go beyond their standard use as run-time assertions, and present algorithms, techniques and implementations for the tasks of 1) program verification, 2) declarative ...
