Developers frequently use inefficient code sequences that could be fixed by simple patches.
These inefficient code sequences can cause significant performance degradation and …

Prevalent software engineering practices such as code reuse and the" one-size-fits-all"
methodology have contributed to significant and widespread increases in the size and …

Performance bugs are programming errors that create significant performance degradation.
While developers often use automated oracles for detecting functional bugs, detecting …

Most “Big Data” systems are written in managed languages, such as Java, C#, or Scala.
These systems suffer from severe memory problems due to the massive volume of objects …

Software performance is critical for how users perceive the quality of software products.
Performance bugs-programming errors that cause significant performance degradation-lead …

A memory leak in a Java program occurs when object references that are no longer needed
are unnecessarily maintained. Such leaks are difficult to detect because static analysis …

This paper identifies and formalizes a prevalent class of asymptotic performance bugs called
redundant traversal bugs and presents a novel static analysis for automatically detecting …

The past decade has witnessed the increasing demands on data-driven business
intelligence that led to the proliferation of data-intensive applications. A managed object …

Modern software is bloated. Demand for new functionality has led developers to include
more and more features, many of which become unneeded or unused as software evolves …

Traditional profilers identify where a program spends most of its resources. They do not
provide information about why the program spends those resources or about how resource …
