Cutting out the middleman: OS-level support for x10 activities
In the X10 language, computations are modeled as lightweight threads called activities. Since most operating systems only offer relatively heavyweight kernel-level threads, the X1...

The APGAS library: resilient parallel and distributed programming in Java 8
We propose the APGAS library for Java 8. Inspired by the core constructs and semantics of the Resilient X10 programming language, APGAS brings many benefits of the X10 programmin...

Verdi: a framework for implementing and formally verifying distributed systems
Distributed systems are difficult to implement correctly because they must handle both concurrency and failures: machines may crash at arbitrary points and networks may reorder, ...

Automatic error elimination by horizontal code transfer across multiple applications
We present Code Phage (CP), a system for automatically transferring correct code from donor applications into recipient applications that process the same inputs to successfully e...

Automatically improving accuracy for floating point expressions
Scientific and engineering applications depend on floating point arithmetic to approximate real arithmetic. This approximation introduces rounding error, which can accumulate to...

Provably correct peephole optimizations with alive
Compilers should not miscompile. Our work addresses problems in developing peephole optimizations that perform local rewriting to improve the efficiency of LLVM code. These optim...

Sound reasoning about integral data types with a reusable SMT solver interface
We extend the Leon verification system for Scala with support for bitvector reasoning, thus addressing one of its fundamental soundness limitation with respect to the treatment o...

Many-core compiler fuzzing
We address the compiler correctness problem for many-core systems through novel applications of fuzz testing to OpenCL compilers. Focusing on two methods from prior work, random d...
