Recent work has studied the effect that factors such as code obfuscation, refactorings and
data types have on energy efficiency. In this paper, we attempt to shed light on the energy …

This paper describes a new technique for identifying potentially parallelisable code
structures in functional programs. Higher-order functions enable simple and easily …

The ParaPhrase Refactoring Tool for Erlang PaRTE provides automatic, comprehensive and
reliable pattern candidate discovery to locate parallelisable components in Erlang programs …

Background Recent work has studied diverse affecting factors on software energy efficiency.
Objective This paper attempts to shed light on the energy behavior of programs written in a …

Scientific image processing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it is a
mean of gaining understanding and insight into the data for a growing number of …

Refactoring is the process of changing the structure of a program without changing its
behaviour. Refactoring has so far only really been deployed effectively for sequential …

This paper proposes a new high-level approach for optimising field programmable gate
array (FPGA) designs. FPGA designs are commonly implemented in low-level hardware …

Modern multicore systems offer huge computing potential. Exploiting large parallel systems
is still a very challenging task, however, especially as many software developers still use …

We propose program analyses to identify parallelizable code fragments, and program
transformations to change those fragments into applications of high-level parallel patterns …

Divide-and-conquer algorithms appear in the solution of many computationally intensive
problems, and are good candidates for parallelization. A divide-and-conquer computation …
