Large foundation models have emerged in the last years and are pushing performance boundaries for a variety of tasks. Training or even finetuning such models demands vast datasets and computational resources, which are often scarce and…
Identifying potentially vulnerable locations in a code base is critical as a pre-step for effective vulnerability assessment; i.e., it can greatly help security experts put their time and effort to where it is needed most. Metric-based and…
Performance antipatterns document bad design patterns that have negative influence on system performance. In our previous work we formalized such antipatterns as logical predicates that predicate on four views: (i) the static view that…
We present a novel approach for constructing discrete optimization benchmarks that enables fine-grained control over problem properties, and such benchmarks can facilitate analyzing discrete algorithm behaviors. We build benchmark problems…
As computing system become more complex, it is becoming harder for programmers to keep their codes optimized as the hardware gets updated. Autotuners try to alleviate this by hiding as many architecture-based optimization details as…
The purpose of this paper is to examine how resource usage of an analytic is affected by the different underlying datatypes of Spark analytics - Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs), Datasets, and DataFrames. The resource usage of an…
Foundation model reliability assessment typically requires thousands of evaluation examples, making it computationally expensive and time-consuming for real-world deployment. We introduce microprobe, a novel approach that achieves…
Fingerprint localization has gained significant attention due to its cost-effective deployment, low complexity, and high efficacy. However, traditional methods, while effective for static data, often struggle in dynamic environments where…
Multi-objective evaluation is a necessary aspect when managing complex systems, as the intrinsic complexity of a system is generally closely linked to the potential number of optimization objectives. However, an evaluation makes no sense…
