Staged compilation
Authors: Craig Chambers
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation (2002)

Traditional compilers compile and optimize files separately, making worst-case assumptions about the program context in which a file is to be linked. More aggressive compilation architectures perform cross-file interprocedural or whole-program analyses, potentially producing much faster programs but substantially increasing the cost of compilation. Even more radical are systems that perform all compilation and optimization at run-time: such systems can optimize programs based on run-time program and system properties as well as static whole-program properties. However, run-time compilers (also called dynamic compilers or just-in-time compilers) suffer under severe constraints on allowable compilation time, since any time spent compiling steals from time spent running the program. None of these compilation models dominates the others: each has unique strengths and weaknesses not present in the other models.We are developing a new, staged compilation model which strives to combine high run-time code quality with low compilation overhead. Compilation is organized as a series of stages, with stages corresponding to, for example, separate compilation, library linking, program linking, and run-time execution. Any given optimization can be performed at any of these stages; to reduce compilation time while maintaining high effectiveness, an optimization should be performed at the earliest stage that provides the necessary program context information to carry out the optimization effectively. Moreover, a single optimization can itself be spread across multiple stages, with earlier stages performing preplanning work that enables the final stage to complete the optimization quickly. In this way, we hope to produce highly optimized programs, nearly as good as what could be done with a purely run-time compiler that had an unconstrained compilation time budget, but at a much more practical compile time cost.We are building the Whirlwind optimizing compiler as the concrete embodiment of this staged compilation model, initially targeting object-oriented languages. A key component of Whirlwind is a set of techniques for automatically constructing staged compilers from traditional unstaged compilers, including aggressive applications of specialization and other partial evaluation technology.

By bringing together the highest achievers in these fields for the first time, including a foreword by Richard Dawkins, this book provides the definitive coverage of significant developments in Evolutionary Design. This book explores the related sub-areas of Evolutionary Design, such as: -- design optimization -- creative design -- the creation of art -- artificial life.It shows for the first time how techniques in each area overlap, and promotes the cross-fertilization of ideas and methods. A CD-ROM is included with the book, providing the reader with hands-on activities, evolved images, animations, and source-code related to the text. Evolutionary Design By Computers will be an essential resource for researchers in academia and industry.
On paging with locality of reference
Authors: Susanne Albers, Lene M. Favrholdt, Oliver Giel
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

Motivated by the fact that competitive analysis yields too pessimistic results when applied to the paging problem, there has been considerable research interest in refining competitive analysis and in developing alternative models for studying online paging. The goal is to devise models in which theoretical results capture phenomena observed in practice.In this paper we propose a new, simple model for studying paging with locality of reference. The model is closely related to Denning's working set concept and directly reflects the amount of locality that request sequences exhibit. We demonstrate that our model is reasonable from a practical point of view.We use the page fault rate to evaluate the quality of paging algorithms, which is the performance measure used in practice. We develop tight or nearly tight bounds on the fault rates achieved by popular paging algorithms such as LRU, FIFO, deterministic Marking strategies and LFD. It shows that LRU is an optimal online algorithm, whereas FIFO and Marking strategies are not optimal in general. We present an experimental study comparing the page fault rates proven in our analyses to the page fault rates observed in practice. This is the first such study for an alternative/refined paging model.

Reengineering an Ada95-programmed command and control information system by using UML
Authors: Heinz Faβbender
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 annual ACM SIGAda international conference on Ada (2001)

We describe the concepts and experiences we have made in an ongoing project by modeling and reengineering an experimental command and control information system which is nearly completely implemented in Ada95. For this purpose, we use the UML tool Software through Pictures from Aonix which includes a reengineering component that produces class diagrams from the source code. These diagrams serve as a starting point of a model of the complete system which itself serves as a base for modeling the most important requirements of the system. Furthermore, by refining the model through state-transition diagrams and redesigning the system the UML tool allows an automatic code generation for components which will be implemented in an other language like Java. Hence, the result of the reengineering process should be a more structured system, where proprietary solutions are replaced by commercial products (e.g. an application server) as much as possible.

Judaism is one such topic with a myriad of Web sites devoted to it. You can spend countless hours browsing the vast online resources on this religious and cultural community. Wouldnt it be great if there was a guide to the very best of these Web sites? Judaism on the Web is a highly focused collection of 500 first-class sites related to Judaica. Author Irving Green has done the bulk of the Web searching for you, assembling the cream of the crop and placing them into one of five categories: the Jewish world, the Jewish year, culture, intellectual life, and current issues. You find references to sites that offer 3D virtual synagogues, genealogy resources, Kosher recipes, Jewish comics, Yiddish culture, holiday calendars, Israeli Web sites, coverage of Jewish denominations, and much more. So dont get bogged down by information overload. Let Judaism on the Web make online learning a fun and enlightening experience.
