Many modern virtual machines, such as JVMs, .NET Framework, and V8, employ a just-in-time (JIT) compiler to achieve their high-performance. There are two major compilation strategies; trace-based compilation and method-based compilation.…

This paper introduces a procedure based on genetic programming to evolve XSLT programs (usually called stylesheets or logicsheets). XSLT is a general purpose, document-oriented functional language, generally used to transform XML documents…

This paper describes a C++ library that compiles neural network models at runtime into machine code that performs inference. This approach in general promises to achieve the best performance possible since it is able to integrate statically…

In this paper we introduce Shackleton as a generalized framework enabling the application of linear genetic programming -- a technique under the umbrella of evolutionary algorithms -- to a variety of use cases. We also explore here a novel…

Algorithms that use Large Language Models (LLMs) to evolve code arrived on the Genetic Programming (GP) scene very recently. We present LLM GP, a formalized LLM-based evolutionary algorithm designed to evolve code. Like GP, it uses…

Modern, powerful virtual machines such as those running Java or JavaScript support multi-tier JIT compilation and optimization features to achieve their high performance. However, implementing and maintaining several compilers/optimizers…

While Genetic Improvement (GI) is a useful paradigm to improve functional and nonfunctional aspects of software, existing techniques tended to use the same set of mutation operators for differing objectives, due to the difficulty of writing…

GitHub Copilot, an extension for the Visual Studio Code development environment powered by the large-scale language model Codex, makes automatic program synthesis available for software developers. This model has been extensively studied in…

This paper describes Mull, an open-source tool for mutation testing based on the LLVM framework. Mull works with LLVM IR, a low-level intermediate representation, to perform mutations, and uses LLVM JIT for just-in-time compilation. This…

Genetic improvement is a search technique that aims to improve a given acceptable solution to a problem. In this paper, we present the novel use of genetic improvement to find problem-specific optimized LLVM pass sequences. We develop a…

Meta-compiler frameworks, such as RPython and Graal/Truffle, generate high-performance virtual machines (VMs) from interpreter definitions. Although they generate VMs with high-quality just-in-time (JIT) compilers, they still lack an…

Despite tremendous progress, machine learning and deep learning still suffer from incomprehensible predictions. Incomprehensibility, however, is not an option for the use of (deep) reinforcement learning in the real world, as unpredictable…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance across natural language and multimodal tasks, yet their practical deployment remains constrained by inference latency and kernel launch overhead, particularly in interactive,…

Building a high-performance JIT-capable VM for a dynamic language has traditionally required a tremendous amount of time, money, and expertise. We present Deegen, a meta-compiler that allows users to generate a high-performance JIT-capable…

We introduce G2T-LLM, a novel approach for molecule generation that uses graph-to-tree text encoding to transform graph-based molecular structures into a hierarchical text format optimized for large language models (LLMs). This encoding…

The reference implementation of Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) was written in the C programming language. C inherently follows a procedural programming paradigm, which entails challenges in providing a reusable and scalable…

Genetic programming (GP) has the potential to generate explainable results, especially when used for dimensionality reduction. In this research, we investigate the potential of leveraging eXplainable AI (XAI) and large language models…
