In recent years, various computing-in-memory (CIM) processors have been presented, showing superior performance over traditional architectures. To unleash the potential of various CIM architectures, such as device precision, crossbar size,…

Compilers face an intrinsic tradeoff between compilation speed and code quality. The tradeoff is particularly stark in a dynamic setting where JIT compilation time contributes to application runtime. Many systems now employ multiple…

Debugging and monitoring programs are integral to engineering and deploying software. Dynamic analyses monitor applications through source code or IR injection, machine code or bytecode rewriting, and virtual machine or direct hardware…

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format designed for secure and efficient execution within sandboxed environments -- predominantly web apps and browsers -- to facilitate performance, security, and flexibility of web programming…

WebAssembly (WASM) is an immensely versatile and increasingly popular compilation target. It executes applications written in several languages (e.g., C/C++) with near-native performance in various domains (e.g., mobile, edge, cloud).…

Software based fault isolation (SFI) is a powerful approach to reduce the impact of security vulnerabilities in large C/C++ applications like Firefox and Apache. Unfortunately, practical SFI tools have not been broadly available. Developing…

WebAssembly (Wasm) is an emerging binary format that draws great attention from our community. However, Wasm binaries are weakly protected, as they can be read, edited, and manipulated by adversaries using either the officially provided…

This work presents MLIR, a novel approach to building reusable and extensible compiler infrastructure. MLIR aims to address software fragmentation, improve compilation for heterogeneous hardware, significantly reduce the cost of building…

Wasm is gaining popularity outside the Web as a well-specified low-level binary format with ISA portability, low memory footprint and polyglot targetability, enabling efficient in-process sandboxing of untrusted code. Despite these…

WebAssembly (Wasm), as a compact, fast, and isolation-guaranteed binary format, can be compiled from more than 40 high-level programming languages. However, vulnerabilities in Wasm binaries could lead to sensitive data leakage and even…

We introduce Wasm Logic, a sound program logic for first-order, encapsulated WebAssembly. We design a novel assertion syntax, tailored to WebAssembly's stack-based semantics and the strong guarantees given by WebAssembly's type system, and…

WebAssembly is the new low-level language for the web and has now been implemented in all major browsers since over a year. To ensure the security, performance, and correctness of future web applications, there is a strong need for dynamic…

Recently, the WebAssembly (or Wasm) technology has been rapidly evolving, with many runtimes actively under development, providing cross-platform secure sandboxes for Wasm modules to run as portable containers. Compared with Docker, which…

Binary rewriting is a widely adopted technique in software analysis. WebAssembly (Wasm), as an emerging bytecode format, has attracted great attention from our community. Unfortunately, there is no general-purpose binary rewriting framework…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across a variety of software engineering and coding tasks. However, their application in the domain of code and compiler optimization remains underexplored. Training…

In modern software development, the JavaScript ecosystem of various frameworks and libraries used to develop contemporary web applications presents many advantages. JavaScript is a widely known interpreted programming language, simple to…

We describe Swivel, a new compiler framework for hardening WebAssembly (Wasm) against Spectre attacks. Outside the browser, Wasm has become a popular lightweight, in-process sandbox and is, for example, used in production to isolate…

Cloud computing requires isolation and portability for workloads. Cloud vendors must isolate each user's resources from others to prevent them from attacking other users or the whole system. Users may want to move their applications to…

The increasing adoption of WebAssembly (Wasm) for performance-critical and security-sensitive tasks drives the demand for WebAssembly program comprehension and reverse engineering. Recent studies have introduced machine learning (ML)-based…

Containerization has become a ubiquitous tool in software development. Due to its numerous benefits, including platform interoperability and secure execution of untrusted third-party code, this technology is a boon to industrial automation,…
