I propose a technique that identifies program properties that may indicate errors. The technique generates machine learning models of run-time program properties known to expose faults, and applies these models to program properties of user-written code to classify and rank…

This paper introduces a new set of compact interactive simulations developed for the constructive learning of computer networks concepts. These simulations, which compose a virtual laboratory implemented as portable Java applets, have been created by combining EJS (Easy Java Simulations)…

Java programs are deployed in a bytecode format that is executed by a Java virtual machine (JVM). JVM performance is determined by several major components: execution engine, garbage collector, and threading system. The static compilation and optimization approach, such as…

In this article we present a performance comparison of four symmetric block ciphers namely DES, Triple-DES, AES, and Blowfish. Performance evaluation based on CPU execution time is conducted under WinXP and Ubuntu /Linux version 8.10 operating system platforms. The study…

In designing compiler analyses and optimisations, the choice of intermediate representation (IR) is a crucial one. Static Single Assignment (SSA) form in particular is an IR with interesting properties, enabling certain analyses and optimisations to be more easily implemented while…

Region-based memory management offers several important advantages over garbage-collected heap, including real-time performance, better data locality and efficient use of limited memory. The concept of regions was first introduced for a call-by-value functional language by Tofte and Talpin, and has…

Side-effect analysis gives information about the set of locations that a statement may read or modify. This analysis can provide information useful in a compiler for performing aggressive optimizations. The impact of the use of side-effect analysis in compiler optimizations…
