Ad-hoc networks of mobile devices such as smart phones and PDAs represent a new and exciting distributed system architecture. Building distributed applications on such an architecture poses new design challenges in programming models, languages, compilers, and runtime systems. This paper discusses SpatialViews, a high-level language designed for programming mobile devices connected through a wireless ad-hoc network. SpatialViews allows specification of virtual networks with nodes providing desired services and residing in interesting spaces. These nodes are discovered dynamically with user-specified time constraints and quality of result (QoR). The programming model supports "best-effort" semantics, i.e., different executions of the same program may result in "correct" answers of different quality. It is the responsibility of the compiler and runtime system to produce a high-quality answer for the particular network and resource conditions encountered during program execution. Four applications, which exercise different features of the SpatialViews language, are presented to demonstrate the expressiveness of the language and the efficiency of the compiler generated code. The applications are an application that collects and aggregates sensor data in network, an application that performs dynamic service installation, a mobile camera application that supports computation offloading for image understanding, and an augmented-reality (AR) Pacman game. The efficiency of the compiler generated code is verified through simulation and physical measurements. The reported results show that SpatialViews is an expressive and effective language for ad-hoc networks. In addition, compiler optimizations can significantly improve response times and energy consumption.

Classbox/J: Controlling the scope of change in Java

Unanticipated changes to complex software systems can introduce anomalies such as duplicated code, suboptimal inheritance relationships and a proliferation of run-tirne downcasts. Refactoring to eliminate these anomalies may not be an option, at least in certain stages of software evolution. Classboxes are modules that restrict the visibility of changes to selected clients only, thereby offering more freedom in the way unanticipated changes may be implemented, and thus reducing the need for convoluted design anomalies. In this paper we demonstrate how classboxes can be implemented in statically-typed languages like Java. We also present an extended case study of Swing, a Java GUI package built on top of AWT, and we document the ensuing anomalies that Swing introduces. We show how Classbox/J, a prototype implementation of classboxes for Java, is used to provide a cleaner implementation of Swing using local refinement rather than subclassing.

Adding trace matching with free variables to AspectJ

An aspect observes the execution of a base program;, when certain actions occur, the aspect runs some extra code of its own. In the AspectJ language, the observations that an aspect can make are confined to the current action: it is not possible to directly observe the history of a computation. Recently, there have been several interesting proposals for new history-based language features, most notably by Douence et al. and by Walker and Viggers. In this paper, we present a new history-based language feature called tracematches that enables the programmer to trigger the execution of extra code by specifying a regular pattern of events in a, computation trace. We have fully designed and implemented tracematches as a seamless extension of AspectJ. A key innovation in our tracematch approach is the introduction of free variables in the matching patterns. This enhancement enables a whole new class of applications in which events can be matched not only by the event kind, but;also by the values associated with the free variables. We provide several examples of applications enabled by this feature. After introducing and motivating the idea of tracematches via examples, we present a detailed semantics of our language design, and we derive an implementation from that semantics. The implementation has been realised as an extension of the abc compiler for AspectJ.

programming by sketching for bit-streaming programs

This paper introduces the concept of programming with sketches, an approach for the rapid development of high-performance applications. This approach allows a programmer to write clean and portable reference code, and then obtain a high-quality implementation by simply sketching the outlines of the desired implementation. Subsequently, a compiler automatically fills in the missing details while also ensuring that a completed sketch is faithful to the input reference code. In this paper, we develop StreamBit as a sketching methodology for the important class of bit-streaming programs (e.g., coding and cryptography). A sketch is a partial specification of the implementation, and as such, it affords several benefits to programmer in terms of productivity and code robustness. First, a sketch is easier to write compared to a complete implementation. Second, sketching allows the programmer to focus on exploiting algorithmic properties rather than on orchestrating low-level details. Third, a sketch-aware compiler rejects "buggy" sketches, thus improving reliability while allowing the programmer to quickly evaluate sophisticated implementation ideas. We evaluated the productivity and performance benefits of our programming methodology in a user-study, where a group of novice StreamBit programmers competed with a group of experienced C programmers on implementing a cipher. We learned that, given the same time budget, the ciphers developed in StreamBit ran 2.5 x faster than ciphers coded in C. We also produced implementations of DES and Serpent that were competitive with hand optimized implementations available in the public domain.

AtomCaml: First-class atomicity via rollback

引用

acm sigplan NOTICES 2005年第9期40卷 92-104页

We have designed, implemented, and evaluated AtomCaml, an extension to Objective Caml that provides a synchronization primitive for atomic (transactional) execution of code. A first-class primitive function of type (unit -> 'a) -> 'a evaluates its argument (which may call other functions, even external C functions) as though no other thread has interleaved execution. Our design ensures fair scheduling and obstruction-freedom. Our implementation extends the Objective Cam] bytecode compiler and run-time system to support atomicity. A logging-and-rollback approach lets us undo uncompleted atomic blocks upon thread pre-emption, and retry them when the thread is rescheduled. The mostly functional nature of the Caml language and the Objective Caml implementation's commitment to a uniprocessor execution model (i.e., threads are interleaved, not executed simultaneously) allow particularly efficient logging. We have evaluated the efficiency and ease-of-use of AtomCaml by writing libraries and microbenchmarks, writing a small application, and replacing all locking with atomicity in an existing, large multithreaded application. Our experience indicates the performance overhead is negligible, atomic helps avoid synchronization mistakes, and idioms such as condition variables adapt reasonably to the atomic approach.

Parametric polymorphism for software component architectures

引用

acm sigplan NOTICES 2005年第10期40卷 147-166页

作者： Oancea, CE Watt, SM Univ Western Ontario Dept Comp Sci London ON Canada

Parametric polymorphism has become a common feature of mainstream programming languages, but software component architectures have lagged behind and do not support it. We examine the problem of providing parametric polymorphism with components combined from different programming languages. We have investigated how to resolve different binding times and parametrization semantics in a range of representative languages and have identified a common ground that can be suitably mapped to different language bindings. We present a generic component architecture extension that provides support for parameterized components and that can be easily adapted to work oil top of various software component architectures in use today (e.g., CORBA, DCOM, JNI). We have implemented and tested this architecture on top Of CORBA. We also present Generic Interface Definition language (GIDL), an extension to CORBA-IDL supporting generic types and we describe language bindings for C++, Java and Aldor. We explain our implementation of GIDL, consisting of a GIDL to IDL compiler and tools for generating linkage code under the language bindings. We demonstrate how this architecture can be used to access C++'s STL, and Aldor's BasicMath libraries in a multi-language environment and discuss our mappings in the context of automatic library interface generation.

Formal loop merging for signal transforms

Formal loop merging for signal transforms

引用

conference on programming language design and implementation

作者： Franchetti, F Voronenko, Y Püschel, M Carnegie Mellon Univ Dept Elect & Comp Engn Pittsburgh PA 15213 USA

A critical optimization in the domain of linear signal transforms, such as the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), is loop merging, which increases data locality and reuse and thus performance. In particular, this includes the conversion of shuffle operations into array reindexings. To date, loop merging is well understood only for the DFT, and only for Cooley-Tukey FFT based algorithms, which excludes DFT sizes divisible by large primes. In this paper, we present a formal loop merging framework for general signal transforms and its implementation within the SPIRAL code generator. The framework consists of Sigma-SPL, a mathematical language to express loops and index mappings;a rewriting system to merge loops in E-SPL;and a compiler that translates Sigma-SPL into code. We apply the framework to DFT sizes that cannot be handled using only the Cooley-Tukey FFT and compare our method to FFTW 3.0.1 and the vendor library Intel MKL 7.2.1. Compared to FFTW our generated code is a factor of 2-4 faster under equal implementation conditions (same algorithms, same unrolling threshold). For some sizes we show a speed-up of a factor of 9 using Bluestein's algorithm. Further, we give a detailed comparison against the Intel vendor library MKL;our generated code is between 2 times faster and 4.5 times slower.

Fine-grained interoperability through mirrors and contracts

引用

acm sigplan NOTICES 2005年第10期40卷 231-245页

As a value flows across the boundary between interoperating languages, it must be checked and converted to fit the types and representations of the target language. For simple forms of data, the checks and coercions can be immediate, for higher order data, such as functions and objects. some must be delayed until the value is used in a particular way. Typically, these coercions and checks are implemented by an ad-hoc mixture of wrappers, reflection, and dynamic predicates. We observe that 1) the wrapper and reflection operations fit the profile of mirrors, 2) the checks correspond to contracts, and 3) the timing and shape of mirror operations coincide with the timing and shape of contract operations. Based on these insights, we present a new model of interoperability that builds on the ideas of mirrors and contracts, and we describe an interoperable implementation of Java and Scheme that is guided by the model.
