Abstract

There is a growing interest in enhancing compiler optimizations with ML models, yet interactions between compilers and ML frameworks remain challenging. Some optimizations require tightly coupled models and compiler internals,raising issues with modularity, performance and framework independence. Practical deployment and transparency for the end-user are also important concerns. We propose ML-Compiler-Bridge to enable ML model development within a traditional Python framework while making end-to-end integration with an optimizing compiler possible and efficient. We evaluate it on both research and production use cases, for training and inference, over several optimization problems, multiple compilers and its versions, and gym infrastructures.

Opportunistic ZGC: Leveraging Idle Cores for More Effective Concurrent Garbage Collection

Managed language runtimes often provide concurrent garbage collectors so that latency-critical applications with large working sets can keep running while most collection work proceeds in the background. ZGC is a production-quality, generational, concurrent collector in OpenJDK with sub-millisecond pause times. While ZGC is designed to run concurrently, frequent and excessive collections with ZGC can still slow the mutators due to synchronization costs and interference with shared computing resources. Hence, the ZGC scheduler is conservative by default, and in most cases, will grow the heap toward the maximum allowed before scheduling a collection. While this approach minimizes collection effort, it can be wasteful, or even harmful, if the maximum heap size is not well tuned to the actual working set. We propose Opportunistic ZGC (OppZGC), a feedback-directed ZGC scheduling policy that constrains the heap dynamically and automatically, without per-application tuning. OppZGC identifies periods when CPU cores are underutilized and leverages them for concurrent collection with ZGC. We describe the design and implementation of OppZGC in OpenJDK's HotSpot Java VM and evaluate it with standard and latency-sensitive benchmarks from DaCapo Chopin and SPECjbb. OppZGC limits heap usage when there is CPU capacity sufficient for additional collections, and avoids scheduling extra collections when they would substantially degrade performance. Overall, it reduces maximum heap usage for our DaCapo benchmarks by between 61% and 90%, on average, depending on configuration, with minimal impact on throughput and request latency compared to default ZGC.

From Rocq to Metal: A Pipeline for Formally Verified Microcontroller Firmware

Enforcing invariants in safety-critical firmware is increasingly urgent as generated code becomes widespread, but standard extraction targets for proof assistants require runtimes too large for many embedded devices. We present a pipeline for running formally verified Rocq firmware logic on Cortex-M microcontrollers. The pipeline extracts Gallina to Scheme, compiles it with Encore!, a bare-metal Continuation Passing Style (CPS) bytecode virtual machine, and embeds the result in no_std Rust firmware. We structure applications as pure state-transition functions, so the business logic is proved in Rocq while the event/effect boundary, host callbacks, compiler, and VM remain explicit trusted components. On ST33-class targets with a 50 KB RAM lower bound, Encore! executes Rocq-extracted code end-to-end, stays within the target memory budget on our benchmarks, and validates a transaction-signing application on physical Ledger Flex hardware.

Practical Range Refinement Types with Inference

Refinement types are a static verification technique that aims at increasing the expressivity of traditional type systems while remaining easy and natural to use. While systems based on refinement types have been developed for several mainstream languages, their practical adoption remains limited by their annotation overhead, which is often a more significant burden than when using the "plain" type annotations of languages like Java or Scala. To improve the state of the art, this paper introduces Ranger: a refinement type system designed to keep the annotation overhead small and to seamlessly integrate with imperative-style constructs like variables and loops. As the name suggests, Ranger focuses on integer range types: a particular kind of refinement types that express bounded integer ranges. Such types are widely useful to verify correct index manipulation and in-bounds data accesses, among others. To combine expressiveness and succinctness, Ranger is based on a bidirectional type system, which runs a type inference algorithm to provide the typechecking pass with information useful to reduce the need for user-written auxiliary annotations. Ranger also integrates other forms of lightweight flow-sensitive static analysis techniques that precisely capture the program's behavior without explicit annotations. We implemented Ranger on top of the Licorne experimental programming language. Our experiments show that Ranger's implementation can concisely express and verify a variety of useful properties that fall beyond the capabilities of standard static type systems like those of Java and Scala, and that Ranger compares favorably to other extended type systems, such as the Java Checker Framework and Liquid Java, that can also check properties about ranges.
