DRFX: a simple and efficient memory model for concurrent programming languages
The most intuitive memory model for shared-memory multithreaded programming is sequential consistency (SC), but it disallows the use of many compiler and hardware optimizations th...

Composing Parallel Software Efficiently with Lithe
Applications composed of multiple parallel libraries perform poorly when those libraries interfere with one another by obliviously using the same physical cores, leading to destru...

Parameterized Verification of Transactional Memories
We describe an automatic verification method to check whether transactional memories ensure strict serializability--a key property assumed of the transactional interface. Our main...

Detecting Inefficiently-Used Containers to Avoid Bloat
Runtime bloat degrades significantly the performance and scalability of software systems. An important source of bloat is the inefficient use of containers. It is expensive to cre...

Bringing Extensibility to Verified Compilers
Verified compilers, such as Leroy's CompCert, are accompanied by a fully checked correctness proof. Both the compiler and proof are often constructed with an interactive proo...

Evaluating Iterative Optimization across 1000 Data Sets
While iterative optimization has become a popular compiler optimization approach, it is based on a premise which has never been truly evaluated: that it is possible to learn the b...

Supporting speculative parallelization in the presence of dynamic data structures
The availability of multicore processors has led to significant interest in compiler techniques for speculative parallelization of sequential programs. Isolation of speculative s...
