Automatic Parallelization of Data-Driven JStar Programs

Weng, Min-Hsien (University of Waikato, 2013)

Data-driven problems have common characteristics: a large number of small objects with complex dependencies. This makes the traditional parallel programming approaches more difficult to apply as pipe-lining the task ...
Bound analysis for Whiley programs

Weng, Min-Hsien; Utting, Mark; Pfahringer, Bernhard (Elsevier, 2015)

The Whiley compiler can generate naive C code, but the code is inefficient because it uses infinite integers and dynamic array sizes. Our project goal is to build up a compiler that can translate Whiley programs into ...
The JStar language philosophy

Utting, Mark; Weng, Min-Hsien; Cleary, John G. (University of Waikato, Department of Computer Science, 2013-11-11)

This paper introduces the JStar parallel programming language, which is a Java-based declarative language aimed at discouraging sequential programming, en-couraging massively parallel programming, and giving the compiler ...

Static techniques for reducing memory usage in the C implementation of Whiley programs

Weng, Min-Hsien; Pfahringer, Bernhard; Utting, Mark (ACM, 2017)

Languages that use call-by-value semantics, such as Whiley, can make program verification easier. But effcient implementation becomes harder, due to the overhead of copying and garbage collection. This paper describes how ...
