Compiler testing is important and challenging. Equivalence Modulo Inputs (EMI) is a recent promising approach for compiler validation. It is based on mutating the unexecuted state...
Floating point representation has limited precision and inputs to floating point programs may also have errors. Consequently, during execution, errors are introduced, propagated,...

Due to its asynchronous, event-driven nature, JavaScript, similar to concurrent programs, suffers from the problem of data races. Past research provides methods for automatically ...
Bootstrapping is well known in the context of compilers, where a bootstrapped compiler can compile its own source code. Bootstrapping is a beneficial engineering practice beraise...
The aggressive optimization of heavily used kernels is an important problem in high-performance computing. However, both general purpose compilers and highly specialized tools suc...

Recording and replaying the execution of smartphone apps is useful in a variety of contexts, from reproducing bugs to profiling and testing. Achieving effective record-andreplay ...
We report on an industrial case study on developing the embedded software for a smart meter using the C programming language and domain-specific extensions of C such as component...
