The most successful unfolding rules used nowadays in the partial evaluation of logic programs are based on well quasi orders (wqo) applied over (covering) ancestors, i.e., a subsequence of the atoms selected during a derivation. Ancestor (sub)sequences are used to increase the specialization power of unfolding while still guaranteeing termination and also to reduce the number of atoms for which the wqo has to be checked. Unfortunately, maintaining the structure of the ancestor relation during unfolding introduces significant overhead. We propose an efficient, practical local unfolding rule based on the notion of covering ancestors which can be used in combination with a wqo and allows a stack-based implementation without losing any opportunities for specialization. Using our technique, certain non-leftmost unfoldings are allowed as long as local unfolding is performed, i.e., we cover depth-first strategies.

Python has become a popular programming language because of its excellent programmability. Many modern software packages utilize Python for high-level algorithm design and depend on native libraries written in C/C++/Fortran for efficient computation
kernels. Interaction between Python code and native libraries introduces performance losses because of the abstraction lying on the boundary of Python and native libraries. On the one side, Python code, typically run with interpretation, is disjoint from its execution behavior. On the other side, native libraries do not include program semantics to understand algorithm defects. To understand the interaction inefficiencies, we extensively study a large collection of Python software packages and categorize them according to the root causes of inefficiencies. We extract two inefficiency patterns that are common in interaction inefficiencies. Based on these patterns, we develop PieProf, a lightweight profiler, to pinpoint interaction inefficiencies in Python applications. The principle of PieProf is to measure the inefficiencies in the native execution and associate inefficiencies with high-level Python code to provide a holistic view. Guided by PieProf, we optimize 17 real-world applications, yielding speedups up to 6.3$times$ on application level.
Program transformation is an appealing technique which allows to improve run-time efficiency, space-consumption and more generally to optimize a given program. Essentially it consists of a sequence of syntactic program manipulations which preserves s
ome kind of semantic equivalence. One of the basic operations which is used by most program transformation systems is unfolding which consists in the replacement of a procedure call by its definition. While there is a large body of literature on transformation and unfolding of sequential programs, very few papers have addressed this issue for concurrent languages and, to the best of our knowledge, no other has considered unfolding of CHR programs. This paper defines a correct unfolding system for CHR programs. We define an unfolding rule, show its correctness and discuss some conditions which can be used to delete an unfolded rule while preserving the program meaning. We prove that confluence and termination properties are preserved by the above transformations.

Weak-head normalization is inconsistent with functional extensionality in the call-by-name $lambda$-calculus. We explore this problem from a new angle via the conflict between extensionality and effects. Leveraging ideas from work on the $lambda$-cal
culus with control, we derive and justify alternative operational semantics and a sequence of abstract machines for performing head reduction. Head reduction avoids the problems with weak-head reduction and extensionality, while our operational semantics and associated abstract machines show us how to retain weak-head reductions ease of implementation.
Frequent Subgraph Mining (FSM) is the key task in many graph mining and machine learning applications. Numerous systems have been proposed for FSM in the past decade. Although these systems show good performance for small patterns (with no more than
four vertices), we found that they have difficulty in mining larger patterns. In this work, we propose a novel two-vertex exploration strategy to accelerate the mining process. Compared with the single-vertex exploration adopted by previous systems, our two-vertex exploration avoids the large memory consumption issue and significantly reduces the memory access overhead. We further enhance the performance through an index-based quick pattern technique that reduces the overhead of isomorphism checks, and a subgraph sampling technique that mitigates the issue of subgraph explosion. The experimental results show that our system achieves significant speedups against the state-of-the-art graph pattern mining systems and supports larger pattern mining tasks that none of the existing systems can handle.
