abstract paper
Many compilers, synthesizers, and theorem provers rely on rewrite rules to simplify expressions or prove equivalences. Developing rewrite rules can be difficult: rules may be subtly incorrect, profitable rules are easy to miss, and rulesets must be rechecked or extended whenever semantics are tweaked. Large rulesets can also be challenging to apply: redundant rules slow down rule-based search and frustrate debugging.
This paper explores how equality saturation, a promising technique that uses e-graphs to apply rewrite rules, can also be used to infer rewrite rules. E-graphs can compactly represent the exponentially large sets of enumerated terms and potential rewrite rules. We show that equality saturation efficiently shrinks both sets, leading to faster synthesis of smaller, more general rulesets.
We prototyped these strategies in a tool dubbed Ruler. Compared to a similar tool built on CVC4, Ruler synthesizes 5.8× smaller rulesets 25× faster without compromising on proving power. In an end-to-end case study, we show Ruler-synthesized rules which perform as well as those crafted by domain experts, and addressed a longstanding issue in a popular open source tool.

3D printers with multiple extruders (or multi-headed printers) are common in the desktop fabrication community, but are primarily used for multi-color or multi-material printing, using only one extruder at a time. What if these multi-headed desktop printers could also be used for simultaneous parallel printing? While this is a relatively unexplored direction, we argue that it deserves further investigation: a flexible, robust, and affordable parallel printing ecosystem could significantly reduce fabrication time for many applications and further enhance the value of desktop rapid prototyping.
We propose a research agenda to explore the development of a parallel printing pipeline, and summarize our observations from a preliminary investigation of simultaneous extrusion. We hope this vision will encourage and guide future research in developing hardware, firmware, and slicers to facilitate parallel 3D printing.

Pure Tensor Program Rewriting via Access Patterns

Symposium on Machine Programming (MAPS) 2021
abstract paper code publisher bib
Tensor kernels in machine learning (ML) often correspond to pure mathematical expressions, making term rewriting an attractive strategy for optimization and mapping to specialized hardware accelerators. However, existing ML intermediate representations (IRs) tend to either be pure but high-level, making low-level rewrites to hardware targets inexpressible, or low-level but impure, hampering the use of term rewriting altogether.
This paper introduces Glenside, a pure IR whose core abstraction — the access pattern — enables low-level, layout-aware, hardware-centric program rewrites. We demonstrate how term rewriting in Glenside can be used to map program fragments to hardware accelerator invocations and automatically discover classic data layout transformations like im2col. Glenside establishes a new foundation for exploring further term rewriting techniques in optimizing low-level tensor programs.

Combining Precision Tuning and Rewriting

IEEE International Symposium on Computer Arithmetic (ARITH) 2021
abstract paper talk slides code project bib
Precision tuning and rewriting can improve both the accuracy and speed of floating point expressions, yet these techniques are typically applied separately. This paper explores how finer-grained interleaving of precision tuning and rewriting can help automatically generate a richer set of Pareto-optimal accuracy versus speed trade-offs.
We introduce Pherbie (Pareto Herbie), a tool providing both precision tuning and rewriting, and evaluate interleaving these two strategies at different granularities. Our results demonstrate that finer-grained interleavings improve both the Pareto curve of candidate implementations and overall optimization time. On a popular set of tests from the FPBench suite, Pherbie finds both implementations that are significantly more accurate for a given cost and significantly faster for a given accuracy bound compared to baselines using precision tuning and rewriting alone or in sequence.

Spotlight Paper
Checkpointing enables the training of deep learning models under restricted memory budgets by freeing intermediate activations from memory and recomputing them on demand. Current checkpointing techniques statically plan these recomputations offline and assume static computation graphs. We demonstrate that a simple online algorithm can achieve comparable performance by introducing Dynamic Tensor Rematerialization (DTR), a greedy online algorithm for checkpointing that is extensible and general, is parameterized by eviction policy, and supports dynamic models. We prove that DTR can train an N-layer linear feedforward network on an Ω(√ N) memory budget with only O(N) tensor operations. DTR closely matches the performance of optimal static checkpointing in simulated experiments. We incorporate a DTR prototype into PyTorch merely by interposing on tensor allocations and operator calls and collecting lightweight metadata on tensors.

egg: Fast and Extensible Equality Saturation

Distinguished Paper Award
An e-graph efficiently represents a congruence relation over many expressions. Although they were originally developed in the late 1970s for use in automated theorem provers, a more recent technique known as equality saturation repurposes e-graphs to implement state-of-the-art, rewrite-driven compiler optimizations and program synthesizers. However, e-graphs remain unspecialized for this newer use case. Equality saturation workloads exhibit distinct characteristics and often require ad hoc e-graph extensions to incorporate transformations beyond purely syntactic rewrites.
This work contributes two techniques that make e-graphs fast and extensible, specializing them to equality saturation. A new amortized invariant restoration technique called rebuilding takes advantage of equality saturation’s distinct workload, providing asymptotic speedups over current techniques in practice. A general mechanism called e-class analyses integrates domain-specific analyses into the e-graph, reducing the need for ad hoc manipulation.
We implemented these techniques in a new open-source library called egg. Our case studies on three previously published applications of equality saturation highlight how egg’s performance and flexibility enable state-of-the-art results across diverse domains.

The Essence of Program Semantics Visualizers: A Three-Axis Model
Josh Pollock, Grace Oh, Eunice Jun, Philip J. Guo, Zachary Tatlock
Workshop on Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages and Tools (PLATEAU) 2020
abstract paper talk bib
A program semantics visualizer (PSV) helps illuminate a language’s semantics by explaining the runtime execution of programs. PSVs are often used in introductory programming (CS1) courses to help introduce a notional machine, an abstraction of the computer that executes the language. But what information should PSVs present to fully explain such notional machines?
In this paper we propose a three-axis model to assess the design of PSVs that visualize execution traces. PSVs should help users by clearly answering three questions: What is the machine’s configuration at each execution step? Why did an execution step take place? How did an execution step change the machine’s configuration? We demonstrate our model’s utility for assessing PSVs by explaining why, in actual classroom use, instructors have resorted to manually extending Python Tutor’s visualizations.

The last few years have seen an explosion of work on tools that address numerical error in scientific, mathematical, and engineering software. The resulting tools can provide essential guidance to expert non-experts: scientists, mathematicians, and engineers for whom mathematical computation is essential but who may have little formal training in numerical methods. It is now time for these tools to move into practice.
Practitioners need a “numerical workbench” that not only succeeds as a research artifact but as a daily tool. We describe our experience adapting Herbie, a tool for numerical error repair, from a research prototype to a reliable workhorse for daily use. In particular, we focus on how we worked to increase user trust and use internal measurement to polish the tool. Looking more broadly, we show that community development and an investment in the generality of our tools, such as through the FPBench project, will better support users and strengthen our research community.

Traditional manufacturing workflows strongly decouple design and fabrication phases. As a result, fabrication-related objectives such as manufacturing time and precision are difficult to optimize in the design space, and vice versa.
This paper presents HL-HELM, a high-level, domain-specific language for expressing abstract, parametric fabrication plans; it also introduces LL-HELM, a low-level language for expressing concrete fabrication plans that take into account the physical constraints of available manufacturing processes. We present a new compiler that supports the real-time, unoptimized translation of high-level, geometric fabrication operations into concrete, tool-specific fabrication instructions; this gives users immediate feedback on the physical feasibility of plans as they design them.
HELM offers novel optimizations to improve accuracy and reduce fabrication time as well as material costs. Optimized low-level plans can be interpreted as step-by-step instructions for users to actually fabricate a physical product. We provide a variety of example fabrication plans in the carpentry domain that are designed using our high-level language, show how the compiler translates and optimizes these plans to generate concrete low-level instructions, and present the final physical products fabricated in wood.

ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on SPLASH-E 2019
abstract paper code bib
Program state visualizations (PSVs) help programmers understand hidden program state like objects, references, and closures. Unfortunately, existing PSV tools do not support custom language semantics, which educators often use to introduce programming languages gradually. They also fail to visualize key pieces of program state, which can lead to incorrect and confusing visualizations.
Theia, a generic PSV framework, uses formal abstract machine definitions to produce complete, continuous, and consistent (CCC) PSVs.
To produce CCC visualizations with Theia, an educator only needs to specify an abstract machine and optionally customize the resulting web page, allowing her to visualize custom language semantics without developing a language specific tool.

abstract paper talk slides code project bib
We present sinking-point, a floating-point-like number system that tracks precision dynamically though computations. With existing floating-point number systems, such as the venerable IEEE 754 standard, numerical results do not inherently contain any information about their precision or accuracy; to determine if a result is numerically accurate, a separate analysis must be performed. By contrast, sinking-point records the precision of each intermediate value and result computed, so highly imprecise results can be identified immediately. Compared to IEEE 754 floating-point, sinking-point’s representation requires only a few additional bits of storage, and computations require only a few additional bitwise operations. Sinking-point is fully generalizable, and can be extended to provide dynamic error tracking for nearly any digital number system, including posits.

}Automatic Formal Verification for EPICS

abstract paper talk slides poster code project publisher bib
We built an EPICS-based radiation therapy machine control system, and are using it to treat patients at our hospital. To help ensure safety, we use a restricted subset of EPICS constructs and programming techniques, and developed several new automated formal verification tools for them. The Symbolic Evaluator checks properties of EPICS database programs (applications), using symbolic evaluation and satisfiability checking. It found serious errors in our control program that were missed by reviews and testing. Other tools are based on a formal semantics for database records, derived from EPICS documentation and expressed in the specification language of an automated theorem prover. The Verified Interpreter is a re-implementation of the parts of the database engine we use, which is proved correct against the formal semantics. We used it to check those parts of EPICS core by differential testing. It found no significant errors (differences between EPICS behavior and the formal semantics). A Verified Compiler is in development. It will compile a database to a standalone program that does not use EPICS core, where the machine code is verified to conform to the formal semantics.

We present the first mechanized formal semantics of BGP (implemented in the Coq proof assistant) that models all required features of the BGP specification RFC-4271 modulo low-level details. We demonstrate our semantic’s correctness and usefulness by: 1) extending and formalizing the pen-and-paper proof by Gao & Rexford on the convergence of BGP, revealing necessary extensions to their original configuration guidelines; 2) building the Bagpipe tool which automatically checks that BGP configurations adhere to given policy specifications, revealing 19 apparent errors in three ASes with over 240,000 lines of BGP configuration; and 3) testing the BGP simulator C-BGP, revealing one bug.
