Optimizing compilers have become a cornerstone for high-performance program generation in research and industry. Optimizations, including those implemented manually by a user and those target-specific and non-target-specific, are used to…

General-purpose compilers abstract away parallelism, locality, and synchronization, limiting their effectiveness on modern spatial architectures. As modern computing architectures increasingly rely on fine-grained control over data…

Accelerators such as neural processing units (NPUs) deliver an enticing balance of performance and efficiency compared to general purpose compute architectures. However, effectively leveraging accelerator capabilities is not always simple:…

This paper introduces a new primitive to serverless language runtimes called freshen. With freshen, developers or providers specify functionality to perform before a given function executes. This proactive technique allows for overheads…
