Optimizations in a traditional compiler are applied sequentially, with each optimization destructively modifying the program to produce a transformed program that is then passed to the next optimization. We present a new approach for…

Modern equality saturation systems excel at expression-level rewrites by exploring large spaces of equivalent programs without suffering from the phase-ordering problem. How- ever, these systems struggle to represent equivalence directly…

Equality saturation is a powerful technique for program optimization. Contextual equality saturation extends this to support rewrite rules that are conditioned on where a term appears in an expression. Existing work has brought contextual…

The technique of \emph{equality saturation}, which equips graphs with an equivalence relation, has proven effective for program optimisation. We give a categorical semantics to these structures, called \emph{e-graphs}, in terms of Cartesian…

Saturation is a fundamental game-semantic property satisfied by strategies that interpret higher-order concurrent programs. It states that the strategy must be closed under certain rearrangements of moves, and corresponds to the intuition…

EDA toolchains are notoriously unpredictable, incomplete, and error-prone; the generally-accepted remedy has been to re-imagine EDA tasks as compilation problems. However, any compiler framework we apply must be prepared to handle the wide…

The use of rewriting-based visual formalisms is on the rise. In the formal methods community, this is due also to the introduction of adhesive categories, where most properties of classical approaches to graph transformation, such as those…
