Computer language paradigms offer linguistic abstractions and proof theories for expressing program implementations. Similarly, system architectures offer the hardware abstractions...

We present an automated technique for generating compiler optimizations from examples of concrete programs before and after improvements have been made to them. The key technical ...
In prior work [15] we studied a language construct restrict that allows programmers to specify that certain pointers are not aliased to other pointers used within a lexical scope....

Typed Assembly Languages (TALs) can be used to validate the safety of assembly-language programs. However, typing rules are usually trusted as axioms. In this paper, we show how to...

We describe a link between the ACL2 and HOL mechanical proof assistants that enables the strengths of each system to be deployed smoothly within a single formal development. Severa...
