We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
Objects often define usage protocols that clients must follow in order for these objects to work properly. Aliasing makes it notoriously difficult to check whether clients and i...
Omniscient debuggers make it possible to navigate backwards in time within a program execution trace, drastically improving the task of debugging complex applications. Still, they...
Developing a general component system for a statically typed, object-oriented language is a challenging design problem for two reasons. First, mutually recursive references across...
Java bug finders perform static analysis to find implementation mistakes that can lead to exploits and failures; Java compilers perform static analysis for optimization. If Java...
