We propose a new instruction, branch-on-random, that is like a standard conditional branch, except rather than specifying the condition on which the branch should be taken, it spe...
This work addresses the need for stateful dataflow programs that can rapidly sift through huge, evolving data sets. These data-intensive applications perform complex multi-step c...

The widely used Mark-and-Sweep garbage collector has a drawback in that it does not move objects during collection. As a result, large long-running realistic applications, such as...
Structural testing techniques, such as statement and branch coverage, play an important role in improving dependability of software systems. However, finding a set of tests which...
An analysis method for specialization of imperative programs is described in this paper. This analysis is an inter-procedural data flow method operating on control flow graphs and...
