Eight innovative tools that are reimagining web applications and how we build them. Welcome to the Great Unbloating.

It’s well known that the difference in executable size between a compiled binary and one hand-written in optimized assembler ...

If you came up building software in the 1990s or early 2000s, you remember the visceral satisfaction of determinism. You wrote code. The compiler analyzed it, optimized it, and emitted precisely the ...

A maximum severity security vulnerability has been disclosed in Apache Parquet's Java Library that, if successfully exploited, could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on susceptible ...

Abstract: Programs that run on a Java virtual machine (JVM)-like Eclipse OpenJ9-are initially interpreted. To improve performance, a Just-in- Time (JIT) compiler may be employed at run time to ...

In many modern LLM applications, such as retrieval augmented generation, prompts have become programs themselves. In these settings, prompt programs are repeatedly called with different user queries ...

In this paper, we present an LLM-based code translation method and an associated tool called CoTran, that translates whole-programs from one high-level programming language to another. Existing ...

Abstract: Java has been used widely, from servers to cellular phones. In order to test those Java runtime systems, many test tools have been provided. However these tools are not enough for Java JIT ...
