Platform-wide Deadlock Immunity for Mobile Phones

George Candea, Horatiu Jula, Thomas Rensch

We present an implementation of our deadlock immunity system, Dimmunix, for mobile phone software. Within Android 2.2 OS, we modiﬁed Dalvik VM, the JVM running all the Android applications, to provide platform-wide deadlock immunity. We successfully ran th ...

Why STM can be more than a Research Toy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

Software Transactional Memory (STM) promises to simplify concurrent programming without requiring specific hardware support. Yet, STM’s credibility lies on the extent to which it enables to leverage multicores and outperform sequential code. A recent CACM ...

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 ...

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 ...

Isolated Actors for Race-Free Concurrent Programming

Philipp Haller

Message-based concurrency using actors has the potential to scale from multicore processors to distributed systems. However, several challenges remain until actor-based programming can be applied on a large scale. First, actor implementations must be effic ...

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 ...

Scala actors: Unifying thread-based and event-based programming

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

There is an impedance mismatch between message-passing concurrency and virtual machines, such as the JVM. VMs usually map their threads to heavyweight OS processes. Without a lightweight process abstraction, users are often forced to write parts of concurr ...

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 ...

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 ...
