To design effective tools for detecting and recovering from software failures requires a deep
understanding of software bug characteristics. We study software bug characteristics by …

Generally believed to be a problem belonging to the compiler and architecture communities,
performance optimization has rarely gained attention in mainstream software engineering …

Memory leaks are usually not associated with runtime environments with automatic garbage
collection; however, memory leaks do happen in such environments and present a …

In large programs written in managed languages such as Java and C#, holding
unnecessary references often results in memory leaks and bloat, degrading significantly …

Type safety and garbage collection in managed languages eliminate memory errors such as
dangling pointers, double frees, and leaks of unreachable objects. Unfortunately, a program …

Real-world data-parallel programs commonly suffer from great memory pressure, especially
when they are executed to process large datasets. Memory problems lead to excessive GC …

Inefficient use of memory, including leaks and bloat, remain a significant challenge for C and
C++ developers. Applications with these problems become slower over time as their working …

Resin: A Holistic Service for Dealing with Memory Leaks in Production Cloud Infrastructure
Page 1 This paper is included in the Proceedings of the 16th USENIX Symposium on …

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 …

This paper expands staleness-based memory leak detection by presenting a machine
learning-based framework. The proposed framework is based on an idea that object …
