Memory models: a case for rethinking parallel languages and hardware
The era of parallel computing for the masses is here, but writing correct parallel programs remains far more difficult than writing sequential programs. Aside from a few domains,...

Adaptive Parallelism for OpenMP Task Parallel Programs
Abstract. We present a system that allows task parallel OpenMP programs to execute on a network of workstations (NOW) with a variable number of nodes. Such adaptivity, generally ca...

Types, potency, and idempotency: why nonlinearity and amnesia make a type system work
Useful type inference must be faster than normalization. Otherwise, you could check safety conditions by running the program. We analyze the relationship between bounds on normali...
