Modern Just-in-Time compilers (or JITs) typically interleave several mechanisms to execute a program. For faster startup times and to observe the initial behavior of an execution, interpretation can be initially used. But after a while,…
We present LeJit, a template-based framework for testing Java just-in-time (JIT) compilers. Like recent template-based frameworks, LeJit executes a template -- a program with holes to be filled -- to generate concrete programs given as…
Bug localization techniques for Just-in-Time (JIT) compilers are based on analyzing the execution behaviors of the target JIT compiler on a set of test programs generated for this purpose; characteristics of these test inputs can…
Just-in-Time (JIT) compilers are used by many modern programming systems in order to improve performance. Bugs in JIT compilers provide exploitable security vulnerabilities and debugging them is difficult as they are large, complex, and…

With software system complexity leading to the rise of software defects, research efforts have been done on techniques towards predicting software defects and Just-in-time (JIT) defect prediction which predicts whether a code change is…
Recent work has shown that Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation can introduce timing side-channels to constant-time programs, which would otherwise be a principled and effective means to counter timing attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel…
General purpose CPUs used in high performance computing (HPC) support a vector instruction set and an out-of-order engine dedicated to increase the instruction level parallelism. Hence, related optimizations are currently critical to…
Just-in-time (JIT) compilation coupled with code caching are widely used to improve performance in dynamic programming language implementations. These code caches, along with the associated profiling data for the hot code, however, consume…
Context: Just-in-Time (JIT) compilers are able to specialize the code they generate according to a continuous profiling of the running programs. This gives them an advantage when compared to Ahead-of-Time (AoT) compilers that must choose…
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…
Detecting Bug Inducing Commit (BIC) or Just in Time (JIT) defect prediction using Machine Learning (ML) based models requires tabulated feature values extracted from the source code or historical maintenance data of a software system.…
JIT (Just-in-Time) technology has garnered significant attention for improving the efficiency of database execution. It offers higher performance by eliminating interpretation overhead compared to traditional execution engines. LLVM serves…
Context: An increasing number of software systems are written in multiple programming languages (PLs), which are called multi-programming-language (MPL) systems. MPL bugs (MPLBs) refers to the bugs whose resolution involves multiple PLs.…
Core systems like key-value stores have historically taken years to build, and are designed to be general so as to amortize cost across deployments, paying a significant performance cost. We argue that LLM-based coding agents now make a…
Just-in-Time software defect prediction (JIT-SDP) prevents the introduction of defects into the software by identifying them at commit check-in time. Current software defect prediction approaches rely on manually crafted features such as…
We present JAttack, a framework that enables template-based testing for compilers. Using JAttack, a developer writes a template program that describes a set of programs to be generated and given as test inputs to a compiler. Such a…
Just-In-Time (JIT) models detect the fix-inducing changes (or defect-inducing changes). These models are designed based on the assumption that past code change properties are similar to future ones. However, as the system evolves, the…
Computer-use agents (CUA) automate tasks specified with natural language such as "order the cheapest item from Taco Bell" by generating sequences of calls to tools such as click, type, and scroll on a browser. Current implementations follow…
There is a tension in dynamic language runtime design between speed and correctness: state-of-the-art JIT compilation, the result of enormous industrial investment and significant research, achieves heroic speedups at the cost of complexity…
