Automated backward error analysis for numerical code
Numerical code uses floating-point arithmetic and necessarily suffers from roundoff and truncation errors. Error analysis is the process to quantify such uncertainty. Forward err...

Approximate computation with outlier detection in Topaz
We present Topaz, a new task-based language for computations that execute on approximate computing platforms that may occasionally produce arbitrarily inaccurate results. Topaz ma...

Reasoning about the POSIX file system: local update and global pathnames
We introduce a program logic for specifying a core sequential subset of the POSIX file system and for reasoning abstractly about client programs working with the file system. Th...

Scrap your boilerplate with object algebras
ng complex Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) typically requires large amounts of tedious boilerplate code. For many operations most of the code simply walks the structure, and only a s...
