LLVM: A compilation framework for lifelong program analysis & transformation
, 2004
"... ... a compiler framework designed to support transparent, lifelong program analysis and transformation for arbitrary programs, by providing high-level information to compiler transformations at compile-time, link-time, run-time, and in idle time between runs. LLVM defines a common, low-level code re ..."

, no existing compilation approach provides all these capabilities. We describe the design of the LLVM representation and compiler framework, and evaluate the design in three ways: (a) the size and effectiveness of the representation, including the type information it provides; (b) compiler performance
The nesC language: A holistic approach to networked embedded systems
- In Proceedings of Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI
, 2003
"... We present nesC, a programming language for networked embedded systems that represent a new design space for application developers. An example of a networked embedded system is a sensor network, which consists of (potentially) thousands of tiny, lowpower “motes, ” each of which execute concurrent, ..."

on the programming model allow the nesC compiler to perform whole-program analyses, including data-race detection (which improves reliability) and aggressive function inlining (which reduces resource consumption). nesC has been used to implement TinyOS, a small operating system for sensor networks, as well
The design and implementation of FFTW3

"... FFTW is an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) that adapts to the hardware in order to maximize performance. This paper shows that such an approach can yield an implementation that is competitive with hand-optimized libraries, and describes the software structure that makes our cu ..."

Dynamic taint analysis for automatic detection, analysis, and signature generation of exploits on commodity software
- In Network and Distributed Systems Security Symposium
, 2005
"... Software vulnerabilities have had a devastating effect on the Internet. Worms such as CodeRed and Slammer can compromise hundreds of thousands of hosts within hours or even minutes, and cause millions of dollars of damage [32, 51]. To successfully combat these fast automatic Internet attacks, we nee ..."

need fast automatic attack detection and filtering mechanisms. In this paper we propose dynamic taint analysis for automatic detection and analysis of overwrite attacks, which include most types of exploits. This approach does not need source code or special compilation for the monitored program
Pin: building customized program analysis tools with dynamic instrumentation
- IN PLDI ’05: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2005 ACM SIGPLAN CONFERENCE ON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
, 2005
"... Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin. Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent, and eff ..."

original, uninstrumented behavior. Pin uses dynamic compilation to instrument executables while they are running. For efficiency, Pin uses several techniques, including inlining, register re-allocation, liveness analysis, and instruction scheduling to optimize instrumentation. This fully automated approach
Composable memory transactions
- In Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP
, 2005
"... Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement atomic blocks over word-based transactional memory that provides scalable multiprocessor performance without requiring changes ..."

leaving the block. This paper takes a four-pronged approach to improving performance: (1) we introduce a new ‘direct access ’ implementation that avoids searching thread-private logs, (2) we develop compiler optimizations to reduce the amount of logging (e.g. when a thread accesses the same data
The synchronous approach to reactive and real-time systems

This introductory paper presents and discusses the application fields and the principles of synchronous programming. The major concern of the synchronous approach is to base synchronous programming langu ..."

Scheduler Activations: Effective Kernel Support for the User-Level Management of Parallelism
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1992
"... Threads are the vehicle,for concurrency in many approaches to parallel programming. Threads separate the notion of a sequential execution stream from the other aspects of traditional UNIX-like processes, such as address spaces and I/O descriptors. The objective of this separation is to make the expr ..."

Threads can be supported either by the operating system kernel or by user-level library code in the application address space, but neither approach has

A post-compiler approach to scratchpad mapping of code
- In Proceedings of the 2004 international conference on Compilers, architecture, and
, 2004
"... ScratchPad Memories (SPMs) are commonly used in embedded systems because they are more energy-efficient than caches and enable tighter application control on the memory hierarchy. Optimally mapping code and data to SPMs is, however, still a challenge. This paper proposes an optimal scratchpad mappin ..."

mapping approach for code segments, which has the distinctive characteristic of working directly on application binaries, thus requiring no access to either the compiler or the application source code- a clear advantage for legacy or proprietary, IP-protected applications. The mapping problem is solved
