Compile-Time Type-Driven Data Representation Transformations in Object-Oriented Languages

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

Late Data Layout: Unifying Data Representation Transformations

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako, Vlad Ureche

Values need to be represented differently when interacting with certain language features. For example, an integer has to take an object-based representation when interacting with erased generics, although, for performance reasons, the stack-based value re ...

Miniboxing: Improving the Speed to Code Size Tradeoff in Parametric Polymorphism Translations

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche

Parametric polymorphism enables code reuse and type safety. Underneath the uniform interface exposed to programmers, however, its low level implementation has to cope with inherently non-uniform data: value types of different sizes and semantics (bytes, in ...

ScalaDyno: Making Name Resolution and Type Checking Fault-tolerant

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche

The ScalaDyno compiler plugin allows fast prototyping with the Scala programming language, in a way that combines the benefits of both statically and dynamically typed languages. Static name resolution and type checking prevent partially-correct code from ...

RRB Vector: A Practical General Purpose Immutable Sequence

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nicolas Alexander Stucki, Vlad Ureche

State-of-the-art immutable collections have wildly differing performance characteristics across their operations, often forcing programmers to choose different collection implementations for each task. Thus, changes to the program can invalidate the choice ...

Parallel symbolic execution for automated real-world software testing

George Candea, Vlad Ureche, Cristian Zamfir, Stefan Bucur

This paper introduces Cloud9, a platform for automated testing of real-world software. Our main contribution is the scalable parallelization of symbolic execution on clusters of commodity hardware, to help cope with path explosion. Cloud9 provides a system ...

Automating Ad hoc Data Representation Transformations

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche

To maximize run-time performance, programmers often specialize their code by hand, replacing library collections and containers by custom objects in which data is restructured for efficient access. However, changing the data representation is a tedious and ...
