This work is devoted to the study of the problem of user-level capture and restoration of running computations in heterogeneous environments. Support for those operations has traditionally been offered through ready-made solutions for specific applications, which are difficult to tailor or adapt to different needs. We believe that a more promising approach would be to build specific solutions as needed, over a more general framework for capture and restoration. In this work, in order to explore the basic mechanisms a language should provide to support the implementation of different policies, we extend the Lua programming language with an API that allows the programmer to reify the internal structures of execution into fine-grained language values.

Dynamic languages like Erlang, Clojure, JavaScript, and E adopted data-race freedom by design. To enforce data-race freedom, these languages either deep copy objects during actor (thread) communication or proxy back to their owning thread. We present
Dala, a simple programming model that ensures data-race freedom while supporting efficient inter-thread communication. Dala is a dynamic, concurrent, capability-based language that relies on three core capabilities: immutable values can be shared freely; isolated mutable objects can be transferred between threads but not aliased; local objects can be aliased within their owning thread but not dereferenced by other threads. Objects with capabilities can co-exist with unsafe objects, that are unchecked and may suffer data races, without compromising the safety of safe objects. We present a formal model of Dala, prove data race-freedom and state and prove a dynamic gradual guarantee. These theorems guarantee data race-freedom when using safe capabilities and show that the addition of capabilities is semantics preserving modulo permission and cast errors.
Language-integrated query based on comprehension syntax is a powerful technique for safe database programming, and provides a basis for advanced techniques such as query shredding or query flattening that allow efficient programming with complex nest
ed collections. However, the foundations of these techniques are lacking: although SQL, the most widely-used database query language, supports heterogeneous queries that mix set and multiset semantics, these important capabilities are not supported by known correctness results or implementations that assume homogeneous collections. In this paper we study language-integrated query for a heterogeneous query language $NRC_lambda(Set,Bag)$ that combines set and multiset constructs. We show how to normalize and translate queries to SQL, and develop a novel approach to querying heterogeneous nested collections, based on the insight that ``local query subexpressions that calculate nested subcollections can be ``lifted to the top level analogously to lambda-lifting for local function definitions.
Obtaining good performance when programming heterogeneous computing platforms poses significant challenges. We present a program transformation environment, implemented in Haskell, where architecture-agnostic scientific C code with semantic annotatio
ns is transformed into functionally equivalent code better suited for a given platform. The transformation steps are represented as rules that can be fired when certain syntactic and semantic conditions are fulfilled. These rules are not hard-wired into the rewriting engine: they are written in a C-like language and are automatically processed and incorporated into the rewriting engine. That makes it possible for end-users to add their own rules or to provide sets of rules that are adapted to certain specific domains or purposes.
Quantum computing is an emerging computational paradigm that leverages the laws of quantum mechanics to perform elementary logic operations. Existing programming models for quantum computing were designed with fault-tolerant hardware in mind, envisio
ning standalone applications. However, near-term quantum computers are susceptible to noise which limits their standalone utility. To better leverage limited computational strengths of noisy quantum devices, hybrid algorithms have been suggested whereby quantum computers are used in tandem with their classical counterparts in a heterogeneous fashion. This {it modus operandi} calls out for a programming model and a high-level programming language that natively and seamlessly supports heterogeneous quantum-classical hardware architectures in a single-source-code paradigm. Motivated by the lack of such a model, we introduce a language extension specification, called QCOR, that enables single-source quantum-classical programming. Programs written using the QCOR library and directives based language extensions can be compiled to produce functional hybrid binary executables. After defining the QCORs programming model, memory model, and execution model, we discuss how QCOR enables variational, iterative, and feed forward quantum computing. QCOR approaches quantum-classical computation in a hardware-agnostic heterogeneous fashion and strives to build on best practices of high performance computing (HPC). The high level of abstraction in the developed language is intended to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing by researchers familiar with classical HPC.
A challenge for programming language research is to design and implement multi-threaded low-level languages providing static guarantees for memory safety and freedom from data races. Towards this goal, we present a concurrent language employing safe
region-based memory management and hierarchical locking of regions. Both regions and locks are treated uniformly, and the language supports ownership transfer, early deallocation of regions and early release of locks in a safe manner.
