In call-by-value languages, some mutually-recursive value definitions can be safely evaluated to build recursive functions or cyclic data structures, but some definitions (let rec x = x + 1) contain vicious circles and their evaluation…

This paper analyses the security contribution of typical functional-language features by examining them in the light of accepted information security principles. Imperative and functional code are compared to illustrate various cases. In…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents that invoke external tools through structured function calls. While recent work reports strong tool-calling performance under standard English-centric evaluations, the…

While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at tool calling, deploying these capabilities in regulated enterprise environments such as fintech presents unique challenges due to on-premises constraints, regulatory compliance requirements, and…

In this paper we propose a new approach to the description of a network of interacting processes in a traditional programming language. Special programming languages or extensions to sequential languages are usually designed to express the…

One-loop functions with loop masses larger than external masses and momenta can always be expanded in terms of external masses and momenta. The precision requested for observables determines the number of the expansion terms retained in the…

Many modern parallel computing systems are heterogeneous at their node level. Such nodes may comprise general purpose CPUs and accelerators (such as, GPU, or Intel Xeon Phi) that provide high performance with suitable energy-consumption…

Solving complex reasoning tasks may involve visual understanding, domain knowledge retrieval, numerical calculation, and multi-step reasoning. Existing methods augment large language models (LLMs) with external tools but are restricted to…

Currently, multi/many-core CPUs are considered standard in most types of computers including, mobile phones, PCs or supercomputers. However, the parallelization of applications as well as refactoring/design of applications for efficient…

Programs with floating-point computations are often derived from mathematical models or designed with the semantics of the real numbers in mind. However, for a given input, the computed path with floating-point numbers may differ from the…

With the increasing complexity of modern software and the demand for high performance, energy consumption has become a critical factor for developers and researchers. While much of the research community is focused on evaluating the energy…

We say that a function is rare-case hard against a given class of algorithms (the adversary) if all algorithms in the class can compute the function only on an $o(1)$-fraction of instances of size $n$ for large enough $n$. Starting from any…

Unlike traditional automation tools or static LLM-based systems, agents combine decision-making and tool utilization to accomplish complex tasks, showing great potential in software engineering. However, existing studies largely focus on…

We present CRUXEval (Code Reasoning, Understanding, and eXecution Evaluation), a benchmark consisting of 800 Python functions (3-13 lines). Each function comes with an input-output pair, leading to two natural tasks: input prediction and…

There are many programming languages in the world today.Each language has their advantage and disavantage. In this paper, we will discuss ten programming languages: C++, C#, Java, Groovy, JavaScript, PHP, Schalar, Scheme, Haskell and…

Matrix multiplication is the foundation from much of the success from high performance technologies like deep learning, scientific simulations, and video graphics. High level programming languages like Python and R rely on highly optimized…

For recent machine-learning-based tasks like API sequence generation, comment generation, and document generation, large amount of data is needed. When software developers implement algorithms in code, we find that they often mention…

In C++, objects can be allocated in static memory, on the stack, or on the heap -- the latter being significantly more performance-costly than the former options. We hypothesized that programmers, particularly those involved in widely-used…
