Modern shared memory multiprocessors permit reordering of memory operations for performance reasons. These reorderings are often a source of subtle bugs in programs written for such architectures. Traditional approaches to verify weak…
Although coherence modeling has come a long way in developing novel models, their evaluation on downstream applications for which they are purportedly developed has largely been neglected. With the advancements made by neural approaches in…
This paper presents a parallel Monte Carlo simulation based performance quantification method for nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) in closed-loop. The method provides distributions for the controller performance in stochastic…
In this paper, we explore a multi-task semantic communication (SemCom) system for distributed sources, extending the existing focus on collaborative single-task execution. We build on the cooperative multi-task processing introduced in [1],…
We present a small-step, frame stack style, semantics for sequential Core Erlang, a dynamically typed, impure functional programming language. The semantics and the properties that we prove are machine-checked with the Coq proof assistant.…
Computational notebooks (e.g., Jupyter, Google Colab) are widely used by data scientists. A key feature of notebooks is the interactive computing model of iteratively executing cells (i.e., a set of statements) and observing the result…
Program executions under relaxed memory model (rmm) semantics are significantly more difficult to analyze; the rmm semantics result in out of order execution of program events leading to an explosion of state-space. Dynamic partial order…
A large part of modern research, especially in the broad field of complex systems, relies on the numerical integration of PDEs, with and without stochastic noise. This is usually done with eiher in-house made codes or external packages like…
We present a formal model of Checked C, a dialect of C that aims to enforce spatial memory safety. Our model pays particular attention to the semantics of dynamically sized, potentially null-terminated arrays. We formalize this model in…
Quality Estimation (QE) models have the potential to change how we evaluate and maybe even train machine translation models. However, these models still lack the robustness to achieve general adoption. We show that State-of-the-art QE…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to fundamentally change the educational landscape. So far, much of the physics education research relating to AI has focused on lecture-based assessment and the ability of ChatGPT to answer…
Large-scale migration of legacy C code to Rust offers a promising path toward improving memory safety, but LLM-based C-to-Rust translation remains challenging due to limited context windows and hallucinations. Prior approaches are evaluated…
Lightweight, source-to-source transformation approaches to implementing MCMC for probabilistic programming languages are popular for their simplicity, support of existing deterministic code, and ability to execute on existing fast runtimes.…
Several proof assistants, such as Isabelle or Coq, can concurrently check multiple proofs. In contrast, the vast majority of today's small proof checkers either does not support concurrency at all or only limited forms thereof, restricting…
Proving correctness of distributed or concurrent algorithms is a mind-challenging and complex process. Slight errors in the reasoning are difficult to find, calling for computer-checked proof systems. In order to build computer-checked…
Continual learning (CL) on edge devices requires not only high accuracy but also training-time efficiency to support on-device adaptation under strict memory and computational constraints. While prompt-based continual learning (PCL) is…
Static analyzers based on abstract interpretation are complex pieces of software implementing delicate algorithms. Even if static analysis techniques are well understood, their implementation on real languages is still error-prone. This…
The conventional model of resource allocation in HPC systems is static. Thus, a job cannot leverage newly available resources in the system or release underutilized resources during the execution. In this paper, we present Kub, a…
We extend a technique called Compiling Control. The technique transforms coroutining logic programs into logic programs that, when executed under the standard left-to-right selection rule (and not using any delay features) have the same…
As cyber-physical systems (CPSs) become more dependent on data and communication networks, their vulnerability to false data injection (FDI) attacks has raised significant concerns. Among these, stealthy attacks, those that evade…
