Functionality and performance of EPIC architectural features depend on extensive compiler support. Predication, one of these features, promises to reduce control flow overhead and...
Numerous optimizations exist for improving the performance of nondeferred reference-counting (RC) garbage collection. Their designs are ad hoc, intended to exploit different count...
Inherent within complex instruction set architectures such as x86 are inefficiencies that do not exist in a simpler ISAs. Modern x86 implementations decode instructions into one o...

This paper presents a novel technique to perform global optimization of communication and preprocessing calls in the presence of array accesses with arbitrary subscripts. Our sche...
We present a framework for the certification of compilation and of compiled programs. Our approach uses a symbolic transfer functions-based representation of programs, so as to ch...
