Still, some English Language Learner (ELL) teachers do not possess the knowledge or ability to teach the basic language constructs (Hurford et al., 2016; Washburn & Mulcahy, 2014). In turn, ELL students' reading processes are negatively affected (Goldenberg, 2020). The …

  5. Request-Based Mediated Execution

    Sundresh, SameerUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2014

    How do you dynamically customize the programming language available in a context within an existing system, without changing the underlying system? This dissertation introduces a language design approach that addresses this problem. The basic idea is to structure programs as systems of multiple …

  8. The Taichi High-Performance and Differentiable Programming Language for Sparse and Quantized Visual Computing

    Hu, YuanmingMassachusetts Institute of Technology2021

    Using traditional programming languages such as C++ and CUDA, writing high-performance visual computing code is often laborious and requires deep expertise in performance engineering. This implies an undesirable trade-off between performance and productivity. Emerging visual computing workloads …

    Kihlman, LZUniversity of Essex2021

    DSLs are programming languages that have been designed to be used to solve problems in a specific domain. They provide constructs that are high-level and domain-specific to make it easier to implement solutions in the given domain. They frequently also limit the language to the domain, avoiding …
