An Analysis of Patch Plausibility and Correctness for Generate-And-Validate Patch Generation Systems
Qi, Zichao; Long, Fan; Achour, Sara; Rinard, Martin (2015-05-26)We analyze reported patches for three existing generate-and-validate patch generation systems (GenProg, RSRepair, and AE). The basic principle behind generate-and-validate systems is to accept only plausible patches that ... -

An Analysis of Patch Plausibility and Correctness for Generate-And-Validate Patch Generation Systems
Qi, Zichao; Long, Fan; Achour, Sara; Rinard, Martin (2015-02-10)We analyze reported patches for three prior generate-and-validate patch generation systems (GenProg, RSRepair, and AE). Because of experimental error, the majority of the reported patches violate the basic principle behind ... -
Automatic Program Repair with Condition Synthesis and Compound Mutations
Long, Fan; Qi, Zichao; Achour, Sara; Rinard, Martin (2015-02-12)We present PCR, a new automatic patch generation system. PCR uses a new condition synthesis technique to efficiently discover logical expressions that generate desired control- flow transfer patterns. Presented with a set ... -
Energy-Efficient Approximate Computation in Topaz
Achour, Sara; Rinard, Martin (2014-08-19)We present Topaz, a new task-based language for computations that execute on approximate computing platforms that may occasionally produce arbitrarily inaccurate results. The Topaz implementation maps approximate tasks ... -
Reliability-Aware Optimization of Approximate Computational Kernels with Rely
Misailovic, Sasa; Carbin, Michael; Achour, Sara; Qi, Zichao; Rinard, Martin (2014-01-09)Emerging high-performance architectures are anticipated to contain unreliable components (e.g., ALUs) that offer low power consumption at the expense of soft errors. Some applications (such as multimedia processing, machine ...
