Degrees of Separation: A Flexible Type System for Safe Concurrency

Martin Odersky, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki, Yichen Xu

Data races have long been a notorious problem in concurrent programming. They are subtle to detect, and lead to non-deterministic behaviours. There has been a lot of interest in type systems that statically guarantee data race freedom. Significant progress ...

Generalizing Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Processing for Data Science: From Data to Threads and Agent-Based Simulations

Zilu Tian

Agent-based simulations have been widely applied in many disciplines, by scientists and engineers alike. Scientists use agent-based simulations to tackle global problems, including alleviating poverty, reducing violence, and predicting the impact of pandem ...

Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

Sketches, metrics and fast algorithms

Navid Nouri

As it has become easier and cheaper to collect big datasets in the last few decades, designing efficient and low-cost algorithms for these datasets has attracted unprecedented attention. However, in most applications, even storing datasets as acquired has ...

Abstractions for Type-Level Programming

Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Over the past decade, the Scala community has shown great interest in using type-level programming to obtain additional type safety. Unfortunately, the lack of support from the Scala compiler has been a barrier to the adoption of that technique, notably du ...

From Trees to Barcodes and Back Again: A Combinatorial, Probabilistic and Geometric Study of a Topological Inverse Problem

Adélie Eliane Garin

In this thesis, we investigate the inverse problem of trees and barcodes from a combinatorial, geometric, probabilistic and statistical point of view. Computing the persistent homology of a merge tree yields a barcode B. Reconstructing a tree from B invol ...

The COUGHVID crowdsourcing dataset: A corpus for the study of large-scale cough analysis algorithms

David Atienza Alonso, Tomas Teijeiro Campo, Lara Orlandic

Overview Cough audio signal classification has been successfully used to diagnose a variety of respiratory conditions, and there has been significant interest in leveraging Machine Learning (ML) to provide widespread COVID-19 screening. Th ...

Using an antenna as a tool for studying microturbulence and zonal structures in tokamaks with a global gyrokinetic GPU-enabled particle-in-cell code

Noé Thomas Elie Ohana

In order to get a better understanding of the interaction of plasma microinstabilities and associated turbulence with specific modes, an antenna is implemented in the global gyrokinetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code ORB5. It consists in applying an external ...

Type-Safe Metaprogramming and Compilation Techniques For Designing Efficient Systems in High-Level Languages

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...

Task scheduling for highly concurrent analytical and transaction workloads

Anastasia Ailamaki, Iraklis Psaroudakis

Systems and method for a task scheduler with dynamic adjustment of concurrency levels and task granularity are disclosed for improved execution of highly concurrent analytical and transactional systems. The task scheduler can avoid both over commitment and ...

Finally, a Polymorphic Linear Algebra Language

Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Many different data analytics tasks boil down to linear algebra primitives. In practice, for each different type of workload, data scientists use a particular specialised library. In this paper, we present Pilatus, a polymorphic iterative linear algebra la ...

Log-Free Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Tudor Alexandru David

Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) makes it possible for data structures to tolerate transient failures, assuming however that programmers have designed these structures such that their consistency is preserved upon recovery. Previous ap- proaches are typically tran ...

A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

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 ...

Automated Reconstruction of Evolving Curvilinear Tree Structures

Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki

Curvilinear networks are prevalent in nature and span many different scales, ranging from micron-scale neural structures in the brain to petameter-scale dark-matter arbors binding massive galaxy clusters. Reliably reconstructing them in an automated fashio ...

Contract-Based Resource Verification for Higher-Order Functions with Memoization

Viktor Kuncak, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We present a new approach for specifying and verifying resource utilization of higher-order functional programs that use lazy evaluation and memoization. In our approach, users can specify the desired resource bound as templates with numerical holes e.g. a ...

A Study on the Programming Structures for RRAM-based FPGA Architectures

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Xifan Tang, Gain Kim

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can benefit non-volatility and high-performance by exploiting Resistive Random Access Memories (RRAMs). In RRAM-based FPGAs, the memories do not only replace the SRAMs and store configurations, but they can also repla ...

Quoted Staged Rewriting: A Practical Approach to Library-Defined Optimizations

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Staging has proved a successful technique for programmatically removing code abstractions, thereby allowing for faster program execution while retaining a high-level interface for the programmer. Unfortunately, techniques based on staging suffer from a num ...
