AspectJ™ is a simple and practical aspect-oriented extension to Java.. With just a few new
constructs, AspectJ provides support for modular implementation of a range of crosscutting …

We have found many programming problems for which neither procedural nor object-
oriented programming techniques are sufficient to clearly capture some of the important …

Programming is hard. Building a large program is like constructing a steam locomotive
through a hole the size of a postage stamp. An artefact that is the fruit of hundreds of person …

Abstract The Optimized Sparse Kernel Interface (OSKI) is a collection of low-level primitives
that provide automatically tuned computational kernels on sparse matrices, for use by solver …

Although I lack Licklider's clarity as to what the next 40 years of computation might bring, I
am convinced that the first steps toward a new agenda must include: a fundamental …

This paper introduces the concept of programming with sketches, an approach for the rapid
development of high-performance applications. This approach allows a programmer to write …

This dissertation presents an automated system to generate highly efficient, platform-
adapted implementations of sparse matrix kernels. We show that conventional …

Multicore processors are marking the beginning of a new era of computing where massive
parallelism is available and necessary. Slightly slower but easy to parallelize kernels are …

The principle of separation of concerns has long been used by software engineers to
manage the complexity of software system development. Programming languages help …

Performance of stencil computations can be significantly improved through smart
implementations that improve memory locality, computation reuse, or parallelize the …
