Concurrency bugs are at the heart of some of the worst bugs that
plague software. Concurrency bugs slow down software development
because it can take weeks or even months before developers
can identify and fix them.
In-production detection, root cause ...
Manual software testing is laborious and prone to human error. Yet, among practitioners, it is the most popular method for quality assurance. Automating the test case generation promises better effectiveness, especially for exposing corner-case bugs. Symbo ...
Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the target code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information for debugging, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the prog ...
One of the most energy-draining and frustrating parts of software development is playing detective with elusive bugs. In this paper we argue that automated post-mortem debugging of failures is feasible for real, in-production systems with no runtime record ...
Debugging is a hard and time-consuming programming task that appears in the most stages of software development and maintenance. Therefore, any improvement in the debugging practice can significantly reduce the time and costs of software production. In thi ...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have the unique ability to be configured into application-specific architectures that are well suited to specific computing problems. This enables them to achieve performances and energy efficiencies that outclass oth ...
The growing complexity of digital signal processing applications implemented in programmable logic and embedded processors make a compelling case the use of high-level methodologies for their design and implementation. Past research has shown that for comp ...
All computing platforms, from mobile to supercomputers, are becoming more and more heterogeneous and massively parallel. While they can provide higher power efficiency and computation throughput, effective and confident use of these systems always requires ...
Systems on Chip (SoCs) and Systems in Package (SiPs) are key parts of a continuously broadening range of products, from chip cards and mobile phones to cars. Besides an increasing amount of digital hardware and software for data processing and storage, the ...
