Silent Bugs Matter: A Study of Compiler-Introduced Security Bugs

Mathias Josef Payer

Compilers assure that any produced optimized code is semantically equivalent to the original code. However, even "correct" compilers may introduce security bugs as security properties go beyond translation correctness. Security bugs introduced by such corr ...

EVA: An Encrypted Vector Arithmetic Language and Compiler for Efficient Homomorphic Computation

Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

Fully-Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers powerful capabilities by enabling secure offloading of both storage and computation, and recent innovations in schemes and implementations have made it all the more attractive. At the same time, FHE is notoriously ...

Just-in-time performance without warm-up

Denys Shabalin

Scala has been developed as a language that deeply integrates with the Java ecosystem. It offers seamless interoperability with existing Java libraries. Since the Scala compiler targets Java bytecode, Scala programs have access to high-performance runtimes ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

A Comparison between Two Automatic Assessment Approaches for Programming: An Empirical Study on MOOCs

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann

Computer-graders have been in regular use in the context of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). The automatic grading of programs presents an opportunity to assess and provide tailored feedback to large classes, while featuring at the same time a number o ...

Miniphases: Compilation using Modular and Efficient Tree Transformations

Martin Odersky, Dmytro Petrashko

Production compilers commonly perform dozens of transformations on an intermediate representation. Running those transformations in separate passes harms performance. One approach to recover performance is to combine transformations by hand in order to red ...

A Formally Verified NAT

George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa, Arseniy Zaostrovnykh

We present a Network Address Translator (NAT) written in C and proven to be semantically correct according to RFC 3022, as well as crash-free and memory-safe. There exists a lot of recent work on network verification, but it mostly assumes models of networ ...

Uniting Language Embeddings for Fast and Friendly DSLs

Vojin Jovanovic

The holy grail for a domain-specific language (DSL) is to be friendly and fast. A DSL should be friendly in the sense that it is easy to use by DSL end-users, and easy to develop by DSL authors. DSLs can be developed as entirely new compilers and ecosystem ...

Characterization and Validation of a Novel Robotic System for Fluid-Mediated Programmable Stochastic Self-Assembly

Alcherio Martinoli, Bahar Haghighat

Several self-assembly systems have been developed in recent years, where depending on the capabilities of the building blocks and the controlability of the environment, the assembly process is guided typically through either a fully centralized or a fully ...

Cryptanalysis of chosen symmetric homomorphic schemes

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

Since Gentry’s breakthrough result was introduced in the year 2009, the homomorphic encryption has become a very popular topic. The main contribution of Gentry’s thesis was, that it has proven, that it actually is possible to design a fully homomorphic enc ...

Functional Pearl: A SQL to C Compiler in 500 Lines of Code

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin

We present the design and implementation of a SQL query processor that outperforms existing database systems and is written in just about 500 lines of Scala code - a convincing case study that high-level functional programming can handily beat C for system ...

Improving Scalability of Symbolic Execution for Software with Complex Environment Interfaces

Stefan Bucur

Manual software testing is laborious and prone to human error. Yet, among practitioners, it is the most popular method for quality assurance. Automating the test case generation promises better effectiveness, especially for exposing corner-case bugs. Symbo ...

Improving Human-Compiler Interaction Through Customizable Type Feedback

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, Hubert Plociniczak

Type errors reported by compilers can sometimes be cryptic, or difficult to understand. In this paper, we propose a type debugging framework that exposes a high-level representation of the typechecking decision-making process that users normally do not hav ...

Surgical Precision JIT Compilers

Tiark Rompf

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic prof ...

High performance computation of landscape genomic models integrating local indices of spatial association

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Motivation: The increasing availability of high-throughput datasets requires powerful methods to support the detection of signatures of selection in landscape genomics. Results: We present an integrated approach to study signatures of local adaptation, pro ...

Optimizing Data Structures in High-Level Programs New Directions for Extensible Compilers based on Staging

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Vojin Jovanovic, Manohar Jonnalagedda

High level data structures are a cornerstone of modern programming and at the same time stand in the way of compiler optimizations. In order to reason about user or library-defined data structures, compilers need to be extensible. Common mechanisms to exte ...

-Overify: Optimizing Programs for Fast Verification

George Candea, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Jonas Benedict Wagner

Developers rely on automated testing and verification tools to gain confidence in their software. The input to such tools is often generated by compilers that have been designed to generate code that runs fast, not code that can be verified easily and quic ...

Reactive Programming Abstractions for Complex Event Logic and Dynamic Data Dependencies

Ingo Maier

A large part of software written today is reactive. In contrast to batch mode systems, a reactive program continuously adapts itself to new input which often requires a substantial amount of engineering. Traditionally, reactive programs are implemented in ...
