The ins and outs of gradual type inference
Gradual typing lets programmers evolve their dynamically typed programs by gradually adding explicit type annotations, which confer benefits like improved performance and fewer r...

Comprehensive kernel instrumentation via dynamic binary translation
Dynamic binary translation (DBT) is a powerful technique that enables fine-grained monitoring and manipulation of an existing program binary. At the user level, it has been emplo...

Reusing non-functional concerns across languages
Emerging languages are often source-to-source compiled to mainstream ones, which offer standardized, fine-tuned implementations of non-functional concerns (NFCs)—including pers...

TypeCastor: demystify dynamic typing of JavaScript applications
Dynamic typing is a barrier for JavaScript applications to achieve high performance. Compared with statically typed languages, the major overhead of dynamic typing comes from runt...

Type harvesting: a practical approach to obtaining typing information in dynamic programming languages
Dynamically typed programming languages are powerful tools for rapid software development. However, there are scenarios that would benefit from actual type information being avai...

Finding and understanding bugs in C compilers
Compilers should be correct. To improve the quality of C compilers, we created Csmith, a randomized test-case generation tool, and spent three years using it to find compiler bug...

Allocation removal by partial evaluation in a tracing JIT
The performance of many dynamic language implementations suffers from high allocation rates and runtime type checks. This makes dynamic languages less applicable to purely algorit...
