Cross-Platform Language Design in Scala.js (Keynote)

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Have you ever wondered what is the secret sauce of Scala.js? What defines Scala.js, above all else, is the overarching will to make it cross-platform. A cross-platform language is both portable-most source code cross-compiles and behaves the same way on mu ...

A Scala Library for Testing Student Assignments on Concurrent Programming

Mikaël Mayer, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We present a lightweight library for testing concurrent Scala programs by systematically exploring multiple interleavings between user-specified operations on shared objects. Our library is targeted at beginners of concurrent programming in Scala, runs on ...

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 ...

Memory Power Optimization of Java-Based Embedded Systems Exploiting Garbage Collection Information

David Atienza Alonso

Nowadays, Java is used in all types of embedded devices. For these memory-constrained systems, the automatic dynamicmemorymanager (Garbage Collector or GC) has been always a key factor in terms of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. Moreover, in cu ...

Compiling structural types on the JVM: a comparison of reflective and generative techniques from Scala's perspective

Martin Odersky, Gilles Dubochet

This article describes Scala's compilation technique of structural types for the JVM. The technique uses Java reflection and polymorphic inline caches. Performance measurements of this technique are presented and analysed. Further measurements compare Scal ...

Actors that Unify Threads and Events

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

There is an impedance mismatch between message-passing concurrency and virtual machines, such as the JVM. VMs usually map their threads to heavyweight OS processes. Without a lightweight process abstraction, users are often forced to write parts of concurr ...
