A key reason is that they typically have an enormous number of execution interleavings, or schedules. Static analysis over all schedules requires over-approximations, resulting in poor precision; dynamic analysis rarely covers more than a tiny fraction of all schedules. We propose an approach called schedule specialization to analyze a parallel program over only a small set of schedules for precision, and then enforce these schedules at runtime for soundness of the static analysis results. We build a schedule specialization framework for C/C++ multithreaded programs that use Pthreads. Our framework avoids the need to modify every analysis to be schedule-aware by specializing a program into a simpler program based on a schedule, so that the resultant program can be analyzed with stock analyses for improved precision. Moreover, our framework provides a precise schedule-aware def-use analysis on memory locations, enabling us to build three highly precise analyses: an alias analyzer, a data-race detector, and a path slicer. Evaluation on 17 programs, including 2 real-world programs and 15 popular benchmarks, shows that analyses using our framework reduced may-aliases by 61.9%, false race reports by 69%, and path slices by 48.7%; and detected 7 unknown bugs in well-checked programs.","PeriodicalId":308121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 33rd ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation","volume":"406 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132257922","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}

{"title":"Logical inference techniques for loop parallelization","authors":"C. Oancea, Lawrence Rauchwerger","doi":"10.1145/2254064.2254124","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2254064.2254124","url":null,"abstract":"This paper presents a fully automatic approach to loop parallelization that integrates the use of static and run-time analysis and thus overcomes many known difficulties such as nonlinear and indirect array indexing and complex control flow. Our hybrid analysis framework validates the parallelization transformation by verifying the independence of the loop's memory references. To this end it represents array references using the USR (uniform set representation) language and expresses the independence condition as an equation, S=0, where S is a set expression representing array indexes. Using a language instead of an array-abstraction representation for S results in a smaller number of conservative approximations but exhibits a potentially-high runtime cost. To alleviate this cost we introduce a language translation F from the USR set-expression language to an equally rich language of predicates (F(S) ==> S = 0). Loop parallelization is then validated using a novel logic inference algorithm that factorizes the obtained complex predicates (F(S)) into a sequence of sufficient independence conditions that are evaluated first statically and, when needed, dynamically, in increasing order of their estimated complexities. We evaluate our automated solution on 26 benchmarks from PERFECT-Club and SPEC suites and show that our approach is effective in parallelizing large, complex loops and obtains much better full program speedups than the Intel and IBM Fortran compilers.","PeriodicalId":308121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 33rd ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128265869","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}

Our method generalizes the sparse analysis techniques on top of the abstract interpretation framework to support relational as well as non-relational semantics properties for C-like languages. We first use the abstract interpretation framework to have a global static analyzer whose scalability is unattended. Upon this underlying sound static analyzer, we add our generalized sparse analysis techniques to improve its scalability while preserving the precision of the underlying analysis. Our framework determines what to prove to guarantee that the resulting sparse version should preserve the precision of the underlying analyzer. We formally present our framework; we present that existing sparse analyses are all restricted instances of our framework; we show more semantically elaborate design examples of sparse non-relational and relational static analyses; we present their implemen- tation results that scale to analyze up to one million lines of C programs. We also show a set of implementation techniques that turn out to be critical to economically support the sparse analysis process.","PeriodicalId":308121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 33rd ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122234396","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}

Compilers do not have access to static type information, making generation of efficient, type-specialized machine code difficult. We seek to solve this problem by inferring types. In this paper we present a hybrid type inference algorithm for JavaScript based on points-to analysis. Our algorithm is fast, in that it pays for itself in the optimizations it enables. Our algorithm is also precise, generating information that closely reflects the program's actual behavior even when analyzing polymorphic code, by augmenting static analysis with run-time type barriers. We showcase an implementation for Mozilla Firefox's JavaScript engine, demonstrating both performance gains and viability. Through integration with the just-in-time (JIT) compiler in Firefox, we have improved performance on major benchmarks and JavaScript-heavy websites by up to 50%. Inference-enabled compilation is the default compilation mode as of Firefox 9.","PeriodicalId":308121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 33rd ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124967251","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}

{"title":"Parallelizing top-down interprocedural analyses","authors":"Aws Albarghouthi, Rahul Kumar, A. Nori, S. Rajamani","doi":"10.1145/2254064.2254091","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2254064.2254091","url":null,"abstract":"Modularity is a central theme in any scalable program analysis. The core idea in a modular analysis is to build summaries at procedure boundaries, and use the summary of a procedure to analyze the effect of calling it at its calling context. There are two ways to perform a modular program analysis: (1) top-down and (2) bottomup. A bottom-up analysis proceeds upwards from the leaves of the call graph, and analyzes each procedure in the most general calling context and builds its summary. In contrast, a top-down analysis starts from the root of the call graph, and proceeds downward, analyzing each procedure in its calling context. Top-down analyses have several applications in verification and software model checking. However, traditionally, bottom-up analyses have been easier to scale and parallelize than top-down analyses. In this paper, we propose a generic framework, BOLT, which uses MapReduce style parallelism to scale top-down analyses. In particular, we consider top-down analyses that are demand driven, such as the ones used for software model checking. In such analyses, each intraprocedural analysis happens in the context of a reachability query. A query Q over a procedure P results in query tree that consists of sub-queries over the procedures called by P. The key insight in BOLT is that the query tree can be explored in parallel using MapReduce style parallelism -- the map stage can be used to run a set of enabled queries in parallel, and the reduce stage can be used to manage inter-dependencies between queries. Iterating the map and reduce stages alternately, we can exploit the parallelism inherent in top-down analyses. Another unique feature of BOLT is that it is parameterized by the algorithm used for intraprocedural analysis. Several kinds of analyses, including may analyses, mustanalyses, and may-must-analyses can be parallelized using BOLT. We have implemented the BOLT framework and instantiated the intraprocedural parameter with a may-must-analysis. We have run BOLT on a test suite consisting of 45 Microsoft Windows device drivers and 150 safety properties. Our results demonstrate an average speedup of 3.71x and a maximum speedup of 7.4x (with 8 cores) over a sequential analysis. Moreover, in several checks where a sequential analysis fails, BOLT is able to successfully complete its analysis.","PeriodicalId":308121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 33rd ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130301541","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}
