In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed.
Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only …

We describe two improvements to Chaitin-style graph coloring register allocators. The first,
optimistic coloring, uses a stronger heuristic to find ak-coloring for the interference graph …

This article describes automatic parallelization techniques in the SUIF (Stanford University
Intermediate Format) compiler that result in good multiprocessor performance for array …

Software robustness has significant impact on system availability. Unfortunately, finding
software bugs is a very challenging task because many bugs are hard to reproduce. While …

In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed.
Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only …

Modern compilers are responsible for translating the idealistic operational semantics of the
source program into a form that makes efficient use of a highly complex heterogeneous …

We seek to extend the scope and efficiency of iterative compilation techniques by searching
not only for program transformation parameters but for the most appropriate transformations …

The SUIF Explorer is an interactive parallelization tool that is more effective than previous
systems in minimizing the number of lines of code that require programmer assistance. First …

Programming is central to computing. It is both the practical tool that actually puts the power
of computing to work and a source of intellectual stimulation and beauty. Therefore …

While removing software bugs consumes vast amounts of human time, hardware support for
debugging in modern computers remains rudimentary. Fortunately, we show that …
