The SLAM project: debugging system software via static analysis

by Thomas Ball, Sriram K. Rajamani - SIGPLAN Not
"... Abstract. The goal of the SLAM project is to check whether or not a program obeys "API usage rules " that specif[y what it means to be a good client of an API. The SLAM toolkit statically analyzes a C program to determine whether or not it violates given usage rules. The toolkit has two un ..."

and automated deduction.}V ~ have successfully applied the SLAM toolkit to Windows XP device drivers, to both validate behavior and find defects in their usage of kernel APIs. Context. Today, many programmers are realizing the benefits of using languages with static type systems. By providing

MapReduce: Simplified data processing on large clusters.

by Jeffrey Dean , Sanjay Ghemawat - In Proceedings of the Sixth Symposium on Operating System Design and Implementation (OSDI-04), , 2004
"... Abstract MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets. Programs written in this functional style are automatically parallelized and executed on a large cluster of commodity machines. The run-time system takes care of the details of ..."

distributed system. Our implementation of MapReduce runs on a large cluster of commodity machines and is highly scalable: a typical MapReduce computation processes many terabytes of data on thousands of machines. Programmers find the system easy to use: hundreds of MapReduce programs have been implemented

SIS: A System for Sequential Circuit Synthesis

by Ellen M. Sentovich, Kanwar Jit Singh, Luciano Lavagno, Cho Moon, Rajeev Murgai, Alexander Saldanha, Hamid Savoj, Paul R. Stephan, Robert K. Brayton, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli , 1992
"... SIS is an interactive tool for synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits. Given a state transition table, a signal transition graph, or a logic-level description of a sequential circuit, it produces an optimized net-list in the target technology while preserving the sequential input-output b ..."

-output behavior. Many different programs and algorithms have been integrated into SIS, allowing the user to choose among a variety of techniques at each stage of the process. It is built on top of MISII [5] and includes all (combinational) optimization techniques therein as well as many enhancements. SIS serves

Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division

by United Nations , 1999
"... vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States ..."

Pig Latin: A Not-So-Foreign Language for Data Processing

by Christopher Olston, Benjamin Reed, Utkarsh Srivastava, Ravi Kumar, Andrew Tomkins
"... There is a growing need for ad-hoc analysis of extremely large data sets, especially at internet companies where innovation critically depends on being able to analyze terabytes of data collected every day. Parallel database products, e.g., Teradata, offer a solution, but are usually prohibitively e ..."

expensive at this scale. Besides, many of the people who analyze this data are entrenched procedural programmers, who find the declarative, SQL style to be unnatural. The success of the more procedural map-reduce programming model, and its associated scalable implementations on commodity hardware

Model checking and abstraction

by Peter J. Clarke, Djuradj Babich, Tariq M. King, B. M. Golam Kibria - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1994
"... software developers are using the Java language as the language of choice on many applications. This is due to the effective use of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm to develop large software projects and the ability of the Java language to support the increasing use of web technologies in business ..."

Scheduler Activations: Effective Kernel Support for the User-Level Management of Parallelism

by Thomas E. Anderson, Brian N. Bershad, Edward D. Lazowska, Henry M. Levy - 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 ..."

Automatically validating temporal safety properties of interfaces

by Thomas Ball, Sriram K. Rajamani , 2001
"... We present a process for validating temporal safety properties of software that uses a well-defined interface. The process requires only that the user state the property of interest. It then automatically creates abstractions of C code using iterative refinement, based on the given property. The pro ..."

that the process converges on a set of predicates powerful enough to validate properties in just a few iterations. 1 Introduction Large-scale software has many components built by many programmers. Integration testing of these components is impossible or ineffective at best. Property checking of interface usage

Shared memory consistency models: A tutorial

by Sarita V. Adve, Kourosh Gharachorloo - IEEE Computer , 1996
"... Parallel systems that support the shared memory abstraction are becoming widely accepted in many areas of computing. Writing correct and efficient programs for such systems requires a formal specification of memory semantics, called a memory consistency model. The most intuitive model—sequential con ..."

gprof: a Call Graph Execution Profiler

by Susan L. Graham, Peter B. Kessler, Marshall K. McKusick , 1982
"... Large complex programs are composed of many small routines that implement abstractions for the routines that call them. To be useful, an execution profiler must attribute execution time in a way that is significant for the logical structure of a program as well as for its textual decomposition. This ..."
