Abstract: "As software becomes larger, programming languages become higher-level, and processors continue to fail to be clocked faster, we'll increasingly require compilers to reduce code bloat, eliminate abstraction penalties, and exploit interesting instruction sets. At the same time, compiler exe...
Abstract: "Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are increasingly used as embedded languages
within general-purpose host languages. DSLs provide a compact, dedicated syntax
for specifying parts of an application related to specialized domains. Unfortunately,
such language extensions typically do not i...
Abstract: "Test coverage is often measured by the number of source lines of code that is executed
by tests. However, compilers can apply transformations to the code to optimize the performance or size of a program. These transformations can remove parts of the original
code, but they can also add ...
