Too Quiet in the Library: An Empirical Study of Security Updates in Android Apps' Native Code

Mathias Josef Payer

Android apps include third-party native libraries to increase performance and to reuse functionality. Native code is directly executed from apps through the Java Native Interface or the Android Native Development Kit. Android developers add precompiled nat ...

HALucinator: Firmware Re-hosting Through Abstraction Layer Emulation

Mathias Josef Payer

Given the increasing ubiquity of online embedded devices, analyzing their firmware is important to security, privacy, and safety. The tight coupling between hardware and firmware and the diversity found in embedded systems makes it hard to perform dynamic ...

The LifeV library: engineering mathematics beyond the proof of concept

Simone Deparis, Luca Formaggia, Davide Forti

LifeV is a library for the finite element (FE) solution of partial differential equations in one, two, and three dimensions. It is written in C++ and designed to run on diverse parallel architectures, including cloud and high performance computing faciliti ...

A Practical Unification of Multi-stage Programming and Macros

Martin Odersky, Nicolas Alexander Stucki

Program generation is indispensable. We propose a novel unification of two existing metaprogramming techniques: multi-stage programming and hygienic generative macros. The former supports runtime code generation and execution in a type-safe manner while th ...

Forge: Generating a High Performance DSL Implementation from a Declarative Specification

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Domain-specific languages provide a promising path to automatically compile high-level code to parallel, heterogeneous, and distributed hardware. However, in practice high performance DSLs still require considerable software expertise to develop and force ...

Distributed digital real-time control system for TCV tokamak

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Damien Fasel, Philippe Marmillod, James Paley, Hoang Bao Le

A new digital feedback control system (named the SCD "Systeme de Controle Distribue") has been developed, integrated and used successfully to control TCV (Tokamak a Configuration Variable) plasmas. The system is designed to be modular, distributed, and sca ...

Secure Computing with the MPEG RVC Framework

Marco Mattavelli, Richard Thavot, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

Recently, ISO/IEC standardized a dataflow-programming framework called Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) for the specification of video codecs. The RVC framework aims at providing the specification of a system at a high abstraction level so that the functi ...

Lightweight Modular Staging: A Pragmatic Approach to Runtime Code Generation and Compiled DSLs

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Good software engineering practice demands generalization and abstraction, whereas high performance demands specialization and concretization. These goals are at odds, and compilers can only rarely translate expressive high-level programs to modern hardwar ...

Lightweight Modular Staging and Embedded Compilers : Abstraction without Regret for High-Level High-Performance Programming

Tiark Rompf

Programs expressed in a high-level programming language need to be translated to a low-level machine dialect for execution. This translation is usually accomplished by a compiler, which is able to translate any legal program to equivalent low-level code. B ...

Constitutionally selective amplification of multicomponent 84-membered macrocyclic hosts for (−)-cytidine•H+

Kay Severin

Mixtures of dipeptide monomers create stereochemically and constitutionally complex dynamic libraries of potential receptors. When (−)-cytidine was utilized as guest an 84-membered cyclic host was amplified (70–175 fold) from a nearly undetectable initial ...

Studying Application–Library Interaction and Behavior with LibTrac

George Candea

The boundary between programs and libraries is an appealing location for injecting faults during testing: the cost of doing so is low, and one can emulate a wide range of errors. Several tools exist, but using them faces the challenge of deciding exactly w ...

Lightweight Modular Staging: A Pragmatic Approach to Runtime Code Generation and Compiled DSLs

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Software engineering demands generality and abstraction, performance demands specialization and concretization. Generative programming can provide both, but the effort required to develop high-quality program generators likely offsets their benefits, even ...

An Extensible Technique for High-Precision Testing of Recovery Code

George Candea, Radu Banabic

Thorough testing of software systems requires ways to productively employ fault injection. We describe a technique for automatically identifying the errors exposed by shared libraries, finding good injection targets in program binaries, and producing corre ...

Selective Symbolic Execution

George Candea, Vitaly Chipounov, Cristian Zamfir

Symbolic execution is a powerful technique for analyzing program behavior, finding bugs, and generating tests, but suffers from severely limited scalability: the largest programs that can be symbolically executed today are on the order of thousands of line ...

Optimizing Higher-Order Functions in Scala

Iulian Dragos

Scala relies on libraries as the default mechanism for language extension. While this provides an elegant solution for growing the language, the performance penalty incurred by call-by-name parameters, boxing and anonymous functions is high. We show that i ...

Validation of Bitstream Syntax and Synthesis of Parsers in the MPEG Reconfigurable Video Coding Framework

Marco Mattavelli, Christophe Lucarz

Video coding technology has evolved in the past years into a variety of different and complex algorithms. So far the specification of such standard algorithms has been done case by case providing monolithic textual and reference SW specifications, but with ...
