Project Rocky: The Architectural Performance of Interpreted; Languages; Project Rocky: The Architectural Performance of Interpreted; Languages;Project Description; Interpreted languages have become increasingly popular over the last; several years, due in part to the demands for portability, safety,; and ease of use. This project examines the performance of interpreted; languages and environments from several perspectives: interpretation; strategy, implementation, and processor/architecture utilization.; As a basis for our study, we have collected a set of benchmarks and; microbenchmarks which are implemented in several interpreted; languages -- Perl, Tcl, Java, and MIPSI. Using various; instrumentation and tracing techniques, we evaluate the performance; characteristics of those benchmarks in order to gain insight into; the similarities and differences in these languages and their; execution environments.;People;Faculty:; Jean-Loup Baer (baer@cs.washington.edu); Brian Bershad (bershad@cs.washington.edu); Henry Levy (levy@cs.washington.edu);Students:; Dennis Lee (dlee@cs.washington.edu); Ted Romer (romer@cs.washington.edu); Geoff Voelker (voelker@cs.washington.edu); Alec Wolman (wolman@cs.washington.edu); Wayne Wong (waynew@cs.washington.edu);Papers;Romer, Lee, Voelker, Wolman, Wong, Baer, Bershad, and Levy,;The Structure and Performance of Interpreters, ASPLOS VII, to appear.;Abstract;postscript;Java measurements on x86;Java source files for benchmarks;Tools;To collect information on the performance of x86 applications, we've;been building a binary rewriting tool called Etch.

The goal of this work is to improve node;performance on the coming generations of parallel machines. I've also;been seen hanging out with the Chaos;Router group. I did a bit of work on the simulator,;including a graphical front end for visualization. With that;experience, I am currently implementing another router simulator in;ZPL. Finally, I am also doing a little bit of astronomy.;This quarter, I am TAing CSE 451.;I enjoy watching movies,;but mostly in the comfort of my own home. I like to eat (oh yeah,;I've been a vegetarian since my;junior year in college) and drink (dinner would not be the same;without a good;wine.) As a result, I must exercise quite a bit. I play on two;soccer;teams: Cousin Scrubs (Co-Rec division 9A) and Cooper's (Co-Rec;division 2A). Last season, the Scrubs came in second place (9B) and;Cooper's won their division (4B). Unfortunately, I recently sacrified;my left knee for the game, and won't playing soccer or taking my usual;step aerobics;class. Instead, you may find me at the IMA trying to swim and at a weight training;class.

Craig Chambers; Craig Chambers, Assistant Professor, joined the faculty in;1991. He received his S.B. degree in Computer Science from MIT in;1986 and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford 1992.; Chambers's research interests lie in the design and implementation;of advanced programming systems, incorporating expressive programming;languages, efficient implementations, and supportive programming;environments. He currently is investigating object-oriented languages;and leads the Cecil;and Vortex projects: Cecil is a purely object-oriented language;serving as a vehicle for investigating multi-methods, static typing,;modules, and other features, and Vortex is an optimizing compiler;system for object-oriented languages incorporating intra- and;interprocedural static analyses and profile-guided optimizations, with;front-ends for Cecil, C++, Modula-3, and Java. Previously, Chambers;was a member of the Self project.; Chambers also is a member of the SPIN;Project. SPIN is an extensible operating system microkernel which;supports dynamic adaptation of system interfaces and implementations;under direct application control while still maintaining system;integrity and isolating applications. SPIN utilizes a dialect of the;Modula-3 language as a pointer-safe kernel extension language. SPIN;also relies on dynamic;compilation to achieve high performance despite its fine-grained;extensibility.; If you're from UW, click here;for information on some undergraduate- and graduate-level research;projects in these areas.;Contact Information;Prof. Craig Chambers;Department of Computer Science and Engineering;University of Washington;Box 352350;Seattle, WA 98195-2350;(206) 685-2094; fax: (206) 543-2969;chambers@cs.washington.edu;;[For mail requiring a street address, use Sieg Hall, Room 114];Last updated: April 10, 1996.;chambers@cs.washington.edu;
