Most current compiler analysis techniques are unable to cope with the semantics introduced by explicit parallel and synchronization constructs in parallel programs. In this paper ...

Adaptive Programming (AP) allows for the separate definition of data structures and traversals with attached computations, performed during the traversal, that operate on these dat...

In restructuring legacy code it may be useful to introduce a design pattern in order to add clarity to the system and thus facilitate further program evolution. We show that aspec...
In this paper we show that data races, a type of bug that generally only causes havoc in parallel programs, can also occur in sequential programs that use signal handlers. Fortunat...

Automatic parallelization of general-purpose programs is still not possible in general in the presence of irregular data structures and complex control-flows. One promising strate...
