Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) is a powerful approach to support cross-architecture
emulation of unmodified binaries. However, DBT systems face correctness and performance …

The increasing prevalence of new Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) necessitates the
migration of closed-source binary programs across ISAs. Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) …

This paper reports progress in verification tool engineering for weak memory models. We
present two bounded model checking tools for concurrent programs. Their distinguishing …

In this paper, we present the first comprehensive performance characterization and
optimization of ARM barriers on both mobile and server platforms. We draw a set of …

When mapping C programs to hardware, high-level synthesis (HLS) tools seek to reorder
instructions so they can be packed into as few clock cycles as possible. However, when …

To enhance performance, common processors feature relaxed memory models that reorder
instructions. However, the correctness of concurrent programs is often dependent on the …

Many hardware and compiler optimisations introduced to speed up single-threaded
programs also introduce additional, sometimes surprising, behaviours for concurrent …

When mapping C programs to hardware, highlevel synthesis (HLS) tools reorder
independent instructions, aiming to obtain a schedule that requires as few clock cycles as …

Mapping programs from one architecture to another plays a key role in technologies such as
binary translation, decompilation, emulation, virtualization, and application migration …

To improve efficiency of memory accesses, modern multiprocessor architectures implement
a whole range of different weak memory models. The behavior of performance-critical code …
