Intense research on virtual machines has highlighted the need for flexible software architectures that allow quick evaluation of new design and implementation techniques. The inte...
: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
Abstract. Virtual machines (VMs) emulating hardware devices are generally implemented in low-level languages for performance reasons. This results in unmaintainable systems that ar...
Dynamic aspect-oriented programming (AOP) enables runtime adaptation of aspects, which is important for building sophisticated, aspect-based software engineering tools, such as ad...
We apply speculative multithreading to sequential Java programs in software to achieve speedup on existing multiprocessors. A common speculation library supports both Java bytecod...
