Despite recent increase in research on improvement of non-functional properties of
software, such as energy usage or program size, there is a lack of standard benchmarks for …

Performance bugs are programming errors that slow down program execution. While
existing techniques can detect various types of performance bugs, a crucial and practical …

Software performance is critical for how users perceive the quality of software products.
Performance bugs-programming errors that cause significant performance degradation-lead …

Deep learning (DL) has been widely applied to many domains. Unique challenges in
engineering DL systems are posed by the programming paradigm shift from traditional …

The increasing complexity of modern programs motivates software engineers to often rely on
the support of third-party libraries. Although this practice allows application developers to …

A big source of run-time performance problems in large-scale, object-oriented applications
is the frequent creation of data structures (by the same allocation site) whose lifetimes are …

Inefficient use of Java containers is an important source of run-time inefficiencies in large
applications. This paper presents an application-level dynamic optimization technique …

Static detection of memory leaks in a managed language such as Java is attractive because
it does not rely on any leak-triggering inputs, allowing compile-time tools to find leaks before …

Modern object-oriented applications commonly suffer from severe performance problems
that need to be optimized away for increased efficiency and user satisfaction. Many existing …

Redundant traversal of loops in the context of other loops has been recently identified as a
source of performance bugs in many Java libraries. This has resulted in the design of static …
