This paper introduces a new abstraction to accelerate the readbarriers and write-barriers used by language runtime systems. We exploit the fact that, dynamically, many barrier exe...
With the emergence of commodity multicore architectures, exploiting tightly-coupled parallelism has become increasingly important. Functional programming languages, such as Haskel...

The programming and retasking of sensor nodes could benefit greatly from the use of a virtual machine (VM) since byte code is compact, can be loaded on demand, and interpreted on...
