 | Regehr, John | Offline compression for on-chip RAM | We present offline RAM compression, an automated source-to-source transformation that reduces a program's data size. Statically allocated scalars, pointers, structures, and arrays are encoded and packed based on the results of a whole-program analysis in the value set and pointer set domains.

 | Regehr, John | Safe and structured use of interrupts in real-time and embedded software | While developing embedded and real-time systems, it is usually necessary to write code that handles interrupts, or code the interacts with interrupt handlers. Interrupts are indispensable because they use hardware support to reduce both the latency and overhead of event detection, when compared to p... | 2007-01-01 | |
