For decades, the serialization constraints imposed by true data dependences have been regarded as an absolute limit--the dataflow limit--on the parallel execution of serial progra...
—In this paper, we explore the concept of code readability and investigate its relation to software quality. With data collected from 120 human annotators, we derive associations...
In earlier work we predicted program size would grow in the limit at a quadratic rate and up to fty generations we measured bloat O(generations1:2;1:5). On two simple benchmarks w...
In this paper, we propose TROY, the first track router with yield-driven wire planning to optimize yield loss due to random defects. As the probability of failure (POF) computed f...
Some software defects trigger failures only when certain complex information flows occur within the software. Profiling and analyzing such flows therefore provides a potentially i...
