Many program analyses can be reduced to graph reachability problems involving a limited form of context-free language reachability called Dyck-CFL reachability. We show a new redu...
With billion-transistor chips on the horizon, single-chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are likely to become commodity components. Speculative CMPs use hardware to enforce dependence, al...

When vectorizing for SIMD architectures that are commonly employed by today’s multimedia extensions, one of the new challenges that arise is the handling of memory alignment. Pr...
Region-based memory management offers several important potential advantages over garbage collection, including real-time performance, better data locality, and more efficient us...
Instruction scheduling is a compiler optimization that can improve program speed, sometimes by 10% or more—but it can also be expensive. Furthermore, time spent optimizing is mo...
Erlang is a concurrent functional language designed for developing large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. The primary implementation of the language is the Erlang/OTP s...
