Safe Kernel Extensions Without Run-Time Checking
- Proc. of OSDI'96
"... Abstract This paper describes a mechanism by which an operating system kernel can determine with certainty that it is safe to execute a binary supplied by an untrusted source. The kernel first defines a safety policy and makes it public. Then, using this policy, an application can provide binaries i ..."

Improving the Fisher kernel for large-scale image classification.
- In ECCV,
, 2010
"... Abstract. The Fisher kernel (FK) is a generic framework which combines the benefits of generative and discriminative approaches. In the context of image classification the FK was shown to extend the popular bag-of-visual-words (BOV) by going beyond count statistics. However, in practice, this enric ..."

The performance of µ-kernel-based systems
- In 16 th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
, 1997
"... First-generation µ-kernels have a reputation for being too slow and lacking sufficient flexibility. To determine whether L4, a lean second-generation µ-kernel, has overcome these limitations, we have repeated several earlier experiments and conducted some novel ones. Moreover, we ported the Linux op ..."

operating system to run on top of the L4 µ-kernel and compared the resulting system with both Linux running native, and MkLinux, a Linux version that executes on top of a first-generation Mach-derived µ-kernel. For L4Linux, the AIM benchmarks report a maximum throughput which is only 5 % lower than
seL4: Formal Verification of an OS Kernel
- ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES
, 2009
"... Complete formal verification is the only known way to guarantee that a system is free of programming errors. We present our experience in performing the formal, machine-checked verification of the seL4 microkernel from an abstract specification down to its C implementation. We assume correctness of ..."

of compiler, assembly code, and hardware, and we used a unique design approach that fuses formal and operating systems techniques. To our knowledge, this is the first formal proof of functional correctness of a complete, general-purpose operating-system kernel. Functional correctness means here
Optimizing Matrix Multiply using PHiPAC: a Portable, High-Performance, ANSI C Coding Methodology
, 1996
"... Modern microprocessors can achieve high performance on linear algebra kernels but this currently requires extensive machine-specific hand tuning. We have developed a methodology whereby near-peak performance on a wide range of systems can be achieved automatically for such routines. First, by analyz ..."

Deformable kernels for early vision
, 1991
"... Early vision algorithms often have a first stage of linear-filtering that 'extracts' from the image information at multiple scales of resolution and multiple orientations. A common difficulty in the design and implementation of such schemes is that one feels compelled to discretize coarsel ..."

Kernel Density Estimation and Intrinsic Alignment for Knowledge-driven Segmentation: Teaching Level Sets to Walk
- International Journal of Computer Vision

"... We address the problem of image segmentation with statistical shape priors in the context of the level set framework. Our paper makes two contributions: Firstly, we propose to generate invariance of the shape prior to certain transformations by intrinsic registration of the evolving level set fun ..."

Scalable error detection using Boolean satisfiability
- In Proc. 32Ç È POPL. ACM
, 2005
"... We describe a software error-detection tool that exploits recent advances in boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers. Our analysis is path sensitive, precise down to the bit level, and models pointers and heap data. Our approach is also highly scalable, which we achieve using two techniques. First, for ..."

In an interprocedural analysis of more than 23,000 lock related functions in the latest Linux kernel, the checker generated
