“DEXIGN THE FUTURE: Innovation for Exponential Times” ARNOLD WASSERMAN COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY IN QATAR 2 MAY 2016 مساء الخير .Good afternoon It is an honor to be invited to address you on this important day. Today you artists and designers graduate into the future. Do you think about the future? Of course you do. But how do you think about the future? Is the future tangible - or is it intangible ? Is it a subject for rational deliberation? Or is it an imagined fantasy that forever recedes before us? Is the future simply whatever happens to us next? Or is it something we deliberately create? Can we Dexign the Future? What I would like us to think about for the next few moments is how creative professionals like yourselves might think about the future. What I have to say applies as much to art as it does to design. Both are technologies of creative innovation. I will take the liberty here of calling it all design. My speech is also available online. There you can follow a number of links to what I will talk about here. The future you are graduating into is an exponential future. What that means is that everything is happening faster and at an accelerating rate. For example, human knowledge is doubling every 12 months. And that curve is accelerating. An IBM researcher foresees that within a few years knowledge will be doubling every 12 hours as we build out the internet of things globally. This acceleration of human knowledge implies that the primary skill of a knowledge worker like yourself is research, analysis and synthesis of the not-yet-known. -

Type Feedback for Bytecode Interpreters Position Paper ICOOOLPS 2007
Type Feedback for Bytecode Interpreters Position Paper ICOOOLPS 2007 Michael Haupt1, Robert Hirschfeld1, and Marcus Denker2 1 Software Architecture Group Hasso-Plattner-Institut University of Potsdam, Germany 2 Software Composition Group Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics University of Berne, Switzerland michael.haupt,hirschfeld @hpi.uni-potsdam.de, [email protected] { } Abstract. This position paper proposes the exploitation of type feed- back mechanisms, or more precisely, polymorphic inline caches, for purely interpreting implementations of object-oriented programming languages. Using Squeak’s virtual machine as an example, polymorphic inline caches are discussed as an alternative to global caching. An implementation proposal for polymorphic inline caches in the Squeak virtual machine is presented, and possible future applications for online optimization are outlined. 1 Introduction Bytecode interpreters are small in size and comparatively easy to implement, but generally execute programs much less efficiently than just-in-time (JIT) compilers. Techniques like threaded interpretation [9, 11, 2] focus on speeding up bytecode interpretation itself, and caching [4, 5, 1] improves the performance of message sends—the most common operation in object-oriented software [7]. It is interesting to observe that, while threading mechanisms are used natu- rally to a varying degree in bytecode interpreter implementations, such systems usually employ only global caching to speed up dynamic method dispatch. A global cache is clearly beneficial with respect to overall performance. Still, it does not provide optimal support for polymorphic message send sites, and it does not allow for exploiting type information (we provide details on these issues in the following section). In our opinion, the employment of polymorphic inline caches (PICs) [5] instead can provide means for achieving significant speedups in bytecode interpreters while exhibiting only a moderate increase in memory footprint and implementation complexity. -
A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine
A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine Tim Rowledge, [email protected] Introduction This chapter is intended to explain some basics of how a Virtual Machine (VM) works, why a VM is useful, what it does for the Squeak programmer and user, and how the Squeak VM might develop in the future. What is a Virtual Machine and why do we need one? A Virtual Machine provides us with a pretense of being a machine other than the actual hardware in use. Using one allows systems that behave differently than the host hardware to run as if on hardware designed for them. The term Object Engine is less commonly used but is a useful concept that includes the lowest system areas of the langauge environment running on the VM. Since there is often some flux in the definition of which components are within the actual VM and which are part of the supported environment, Object Engine is useful as a more inclusive term. The term Virtual Machine is used in several ways. When IBM refer to VM/CMS they are referring to a way of making a mainframe behave as if it is many machines, so that programs can assume they have total control even though they do not. Intel provide a somewhat similar facility in the x86 architecture(?), referred to as Virtual Mode. This sort of VM is a complete hardware simulation, often supported at the lowest level by the hardware. Another sort of VM is the emulator - SoftWindows for the Mac, Acorn's !PC, Linux's WINE are good examples - where another machine and/or OS is simulated to allow a Mac user to run Windows programs, an Acorn RiscPC or a Linux machine to run Windows98 programs and so on. -
A Model of Inheritance for Declarative Visual Programming Languages
An Abstract Of The Dissertation Of Rebecca Djang for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science presented on December 17, 1998. Title: Similarity Inheritance: A Model of Inheritance for Declarative Visual Programming Languages. Abstract approved: Margaret M. Burnett Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such as ad-hoc (cut-and-paste) reuse of code which has been remedied in object-oriented languages, for example, through the code-reuse mechanism of inheritance. We believe spreadsheets and other declarative VPLs can benefit from the addition of an inheritance-like mechanism for fine-grained code reuse. This dissertation first examines the opportunities for supporting reuse inherent in declarative VPLs, and then introduces similarity inheritance and describes a prototype of this model in the research spreadsheet language Forms/3. Similarity inheritance is very flexible, allowing multiple granularities of code sharing and even mutual inheritance; it includes explicit representations of inherited code and all sharing relationships, and it subsumes the current spreadsheet mechanisms for formula propagation, providing a gradual migration from simple formula reuse to more sophisticated uses of inheritance among objects. Since the inheritance model separates inheritance from types, we investigate what notion of types is appropriate to support reuse of functions on different types (operation polymorphism). Because it is important to us that immediate feedback, which is characteristic of many VPLs, be preserved, including feedback with respect to type errors, we introduce a model of types suitable for static type inference in the presence of operation polymorphism with similarity inheritance. -
