LOCKSMITH: context-sensitive correlation analysis for race detection
One common technique for preventing data races in multi-threaded programs is to ensure that all accesses to shared locations are consistently protected by a lock. We present a too...

A microkernel virtual machine: : building security with clear interfaces
In this paper we propose a novel microkernel-based virtual machine (µKVM), a new code-based security framework with a simple and declarative security architecture. The main desig...

Practical dynamic software updating for C
Software updates typically require stopping and restarting an application, but many systems cannot afford to halt service, or would prefer not to. Dynamic software updating (DSU) ...

The Compressor: concurrent, incremental, and parallel compaction
The widely used Mark-and-Sweep garbage collector has a drawback in that it does not move objects during collection. As a result, large long-running realistic applications, such as...

Context-sensitive domain-independent algorithm composition and selection
Progressing beyond the productivity of present-day languages appears to require using domain-specific knowledge. Domain-specific languages and libraries (DSLs) proliferate, but ...

Optimizing memory transactions
Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement...

Free-Me: a static analysis for automatic individual object reclamation
Garbage collection has proven benefits, including fewer memoryrelated errors and reduced programmer effort. Garbage collection, however, trades space for time. It reclaims memory...
