Abstract. The paper presents a deductive framework for proving program equivalence and its application to automatic verification of transformations performed by optimizing compiler...
We formulate some research and development challenges that relate what a verifying compiler can verify to the definition and analysis of the application-content of programs, where...
This paper presents a new compiler optimization algorithm that parallelizes applications for symmetric, sharedmemory multiprocessors. The algorithm considers data locality, parall...
We present a framework for the certification of compilation and of compiled programs. Our approach uses a symbolic transfer functions-based representation of programs, so as to ch...
—The Verifying Compiler (VC) project is a core component of the Dependable Systems Evolution Grand Challenge. The VC offers the promise of automatically proving that a program or...
