Given a loop-free sequence of instructions, superoptimization techniques use a constraint
solver to search for an equivalent sequence that is optimal for a desired objective. The …

With the advent of smart contracts that execute on the blockchain ecosystem, a new mode of
reasoning is required for developers that must pay meticulous attention to the gas spent by …

Smart contracts are programs deployed on a blockchain. They are executed for a monetary
fee paid in gas—a clear optimization target for smart contract compilers. Because smart …

In the blockchain-based, distributed computing platform Ethereum, programs called smart
contracts are compiled to bytecode and executed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) …

Superoptimization is a compilation technique that searches for the optimal sequence of
instructions semantically equivalent to a given (loop-free) initial sequence. With the advent …

Superoptimization is a type of program synthesis technique that, given an original loop-free
sequence of instructions, synthesizes an alternative semantically-equivalent sequence that …

Checking the consistency of a metamodel involves finding a valid metamodel instance that
provably meets the set of constraints that are defined over the metamodel. These constraints …

Developing compiler optimizations, especially for new, rapidly evolving smart contract
languages, can be onerous and error-prone, but is especially important for smart contracts …

Deep symbolic superoptimization refers to the task of applying deep learning methods to
simplify symbolic expressions. Existing approaches either perform supervised training on …

As software becomes larger, programming languages become higher-level, and processors
continue to fail to be clocked faster, we'll increasingly require compilers to reduce code …
