This paper presents a combined pointer and escape analysis algorithm for Java programs. The algorithm is based on the abstraction of points-to escape graphs, which characterize ho...
Tracing garbage collectors traverse references from live program variables, transitively tracing out the closure of live objects. Memory accesses incurred during tracing are essen...

Java programmers can document that the relationship between two objects is unchanging by declaring the field that encodes that relationship to be final. This information can be us...
Dynamic typing is a barrier for JavaScript applications to achieve high performance. Compared with statically typed languages, the major overhead of dynamic typing comes from runt...
— We present Bristlecone, a programming language for robust software systems. Bristlecone applications have two components: a high-level organization specification that describe...
