Optimization of functional language ASL/F programs

Memory Optimization for Parallel Functional Programs

Parallel functional languages use single valued variables to avoid semantically irrelevant data dependence constraints. Programs containing iterations that redeene variables in a procedural language have the corresponding variables declared with additional dimensions in a single assignment language. This extra temporal dimension, unless optimized, requires an exorbitant amount of memory and in ...

Audiovisual Programs As Sources Of Language Input: An Overview

Audiovisual devices such as satellite and conventional televisions can offer easy access to authentic programs which are considered to be a rich source of language input for SLA (Second Language Acquisition). The immediacy of various audiovisual programs ensures that language learners’ exposure is up-to-date and embedded in the real world of native speakers. In the same line, in the present pap...

Towards the Global Optimization of Functional Logic Programs

Functional logic languages amalgamate functional and logic programming paradigms. They can be eeciently implemented by extending techniques known from logic programming. In this paper we show how global information about the call modes of functions can be used to optimize the compilation of functional logic programs. Since mode information has been successfully used to improve the implementatio...
