M.S. Paper Title: Weighing Continuations for Concurrency
Abstract:
There have been a number of efforts to broaden the use of lightweight
continuations for concurrency in programming languages, however, the
implementation trade-offs of various designs under sequential and
concurrent workloads are not well understood. Prior empirical
evaluations used cross-language and cross-compiler analyses, leaving
much of the folklore surrounding their performance without evidence.
We present the implementation of a single compiler and runtime system
that supports a broad range of strategies for continuations. Using
this compiler, we conduct an empirical analysis of both the
performance and challenges involved in implementing different forms of
continuations for high-performance concurrency.
Kavon's advisor is Prof. John Reppy
