Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a step in the direction of solving the first problem, but it does not provide tools for the programmer to understand and optimize his code's performance, thus leaving the second problem as an open issue.\u0000 In this paper, we present a novel technique that informs the developer about which objects cause JVSTM transactions to conflict. Then, we describe how we used that technique together with several JVSTM conflict reduction techniques to improve the performance of a transactional application.","PeriodicalId":143880,"journal":{"name":"SPLASH Workshops","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124519096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we shift from few expert system programmers mastering concurrency for a constrained set of problems to mainstream application developers being required to master concurrency for a wide variety of problems.\u0000 Consequently, high-level language virtual machine (VM) research faces interesting questions. What are processor design changes that have an impact on the abstractions provided by VMs to provide platform independence? How can application programmers' diverse needs be facilitated to solve concurrent programming problems?\u0000 We argue that VMs will need to be ready for a wide range of different concurrency models that allow solving concurrency problems with appropriate abstractions. Furthermore, they need to abstract from heterogeneous processor architectures, varying performance characteristics, need to account for memory access cost and inter-core communication mechanisms but should only expose the minimal useful set of notions like locality, explicit communication, and adaptable scheduling to maintain their abstracting nature.\u0000 Eventually, language designers need to be enabled to guarantee properties like encapsulation, scheduling guarantees, and immutability also when an interaction between different problem-specific concurrency abstractions is required.","PeriodicalId":143880,"journal":{"name":"SPLASH Workshops","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127825499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A widely used method to formalize domain-specific languages is the metamodeling approach. There are a huge number of metamodeling languages. The choice of a suitable metamodeling approach is a challenging task because there is often a lack of knowledge about the selection criteria and the offered metamodeling features. In this paper, we analyze a set of metamodeling languages (ARIS, Ecore, GME, GOPPRR, MS DSL Tools, and MS Visio), define a comparison framework, and compare the selected meta-metamodels. The comparison forms a first foundation for solving the selection problem.","PeriodicalId":143880,"journal":{"name":"SPLASH Workshops","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132460074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This simplifies the modelling process and ensures that non-technical stakeholders can be more closely involved in software development. However, increasing the abstraction level causes details of the problem domain to be excluded from the problem space. In some situations, this may render a DSL useless since required details can not be captured by the language. In this paper we explore how generic metamodels can be parameterised to model additional details and thereby increase the reuse value of DSLs.","PeriodicalId":143880,"journal":{"name":"SPLASH Workshops","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134563131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
