Alliance Research Group: Optimizing the Performance and Efficiency of Modern Programming Languages Ghent University
We propose a more vertically-integrated software and system stack to combat the growing mismatch between software and its higher abstraction levels, and low-level hardware that has been growing more complex as it has hit power limitations. While programming languages have gone to higher abstraction levels to make programming easier and to make software portable, the cost is a loss in performance. This loss is exacerbated as machines have ...
