Time Zone

The program is currently displayed in (GMT+08:00) Perth.

Use conference time zone: (GMT+08:00) PerthSelect other time zone

The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

Meta just-in-time (JIT) compiler frameworks automatically generate JIT compilers from an interpreter definition of a language. Rooted in the theory of partial evaluation—also known as the Futamura projections—these frameworks, such as RPython and Graal/Truffle, have been successfully used to build high-performance virtual machines for many programming languages. This talk focuses on tracing-based meta-JIT compiler frameworks and discusses their potential beyond their original scope. In particular, this includes techniques that generate multi-tier JIT compilers and efficiently implement multi-staged programs.
