Outer Loop Pipelining for Application Specific Datapaths in FPGAs
Most hardware compilers apply loop pipelining to increase the parallelism achieved, but pipelining is restricted to the only innermost level in a nested loop. In this work we exten...

Using JML Runtime Assertion Checking to Automate Metamorphic Testing in Applications without Test Oracles
It is challenging to test applications and functions for which the correct output for arbitrary input cannot be known in advance, e.g. some computational science or machine learni...

Composable specifications for structured shared-memory communication
In this paper we propose a communication-centric approach to specifying and checking how multithreaded programs use shared memory to perform inter-thread communication. Our approa...

From Uncertainty to Belief: Inferring the Specification Within
Automatic tools for finding software errors require a set of specifications before they can check code: if they do not know what to check, they cannot find bugs. This paper presen...

Parallel radial basis function methods for the global optimization of expensive functions
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
