Other Significant Research Products
| 1. J. Eliot B. Moss, ``Nesting Transactions: Why and What Do We Need?'', invited opening talk, First ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Languages, Compilers, and Hardware Support for Transactional Computing (TRANSACT), Ottawa, Canada, June 2006. |
| 2. J. Eliot B. Moss, ``Compiling Object-Oriented Languages: Achievements and Promise,'' invited talk, ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications, (OOPSLA '97), Atlanta, GA, October 1997. |
| 1. Elephant Tracks. This tool instruments Java programs to produce detailed traces of behavior as seen from the bytecode level, including precise estimates of when objects become unreachable. |
| 2. The DaCapo Benchmark Suite. This collects together Java programs with interesting memory allocation and garbage collection behavior, and is suited to evaluating the performance memory managers and garbage collectors. It is intended to advance methodological standards in this area of research and we offer it to the research community with that hope. |
| 3. Quick Compiler for the Jikes RVM. The Jikes RVM comes with a fast non-optimizing compiler and a slow optimizing compiler. Our quick compiler is modeled on the fast non-optimizing compiler, but adds simple register allocation and other optimizations that are cheap to perform, to provide better code without the overhead of the optimizing compiler. |
| 4. PowerPC 64 port of the Jikes RVM. This is the first port of the Jikes RVM, a complete ``industrial strength'' Java virtual machine developed by IBM Research and now available as open source software, to a 64-bit platform. It will be offered back to the research community. It enables interesting research in the use of 64-bit address spaces with Java. |
| 5. JMTk, a Java Memory-management Toolkit for the Jikes RVM. This is a rework of GCTk (see below) in cooperation with researchers at IBM. It is now the standard memory manager for this platform. |
| 6. Dynamic SimpleScalar. This program extends SimpleScalar, a functional, cache, and timing simulator for an out-of-order superscalar implementation of the PowerPC. It adds support for dynamic code generation, memory mapping and memory traps, software traps, and user-mode signal handlers, as well as supporting more operating system calls, more hosts, and more target operating systems. It is important in that it can simulate the Jikes RVM. |
| 7. GCTk, a Garbage Collector Toolkit for the Jikes RVM. WHile this is specialized to Java, and somewhat to the Jikes RVM, it is a more modern descendant of the UMass Language Independent Toolkit, and was written from scratch. It has enabled much work in garbage collection because it allows us to develop and debug new collectors much more quickly than before. |
| 8. Merlin Object Trace Generator. This tool generates, very efficiently, traces that are very precise in their determination of when objects become unreachable. Previously it was not practical to generate such traces, and the technique led to two publications just about how it is done and why it is important. Working code is now being offered back to the community. |
| 9. UMass Object Trace Analyzer. This tool processes traces of object allocation, update, and death (garbage collection) and can simulate a wide range of garbage collection algorithms. It has been instrumental in producing preliminary results leading to the ITR award (NSF, 2000). |
| 10. Bayesian Inference Engine. A joint project with Martin Weinberg and others in Astronomy and Allen Hanson in Computer Science, this tool can load, transform, and most importantly compute likelihood distributions of physical models from observed data. Among other things, we have used it to study the shape of the Milky Way galaxy. My contributions have been in its software engineering design and in persistence of computation history and results. |
| 11. UMass Java Virtual Machine. This Java byte-code interpreter provided a number of preliminary results important to obtaining the large ITR award (NSF, 2000). Because of its high maintenance costs, we have now abandoned it in favor of IBM's Jalapeño system, which supports compiling and optimization. |
| 12. Mneme Persistent Object Store. This enabled a number of studies of performance of mechanisms supporting persistence for programming languages, and was crucial to Hosking's PhD work. |
| 13. GNU Modula-3 Compiler. While never completed, this led to important work on interaction between garbage collection and optimizing compilers, and was instrumental in Diwan's work leading to his use of Modula-3 for his PhD. |
| 14. UMass Language Independent Garbage Collector Toolkit. Used to explore garbage collector performance issues, resulting in a number of papers and important to Hosking's and Stefanovic's PhD work. The toolkit still enjoys significant use by other researchers, including Craig Chambers' group at Washington, and enabling Chilimbi's (Wisconsin) impressive PhD results. |
| 15. UMass Smalltalk Virtual Machine. Used in explorations of object-oriented language implementation techniques and to drive other system, notably garbage collection and persistence. Important to Hosking's PhD work. |
