Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Code reuse is a software engineering cornerstone that has heavily influenced software language design and the software development process. However, pursuing the goal of code reuse by building software libraries causes significant optimization opportunities to elude traditional compilers. Compilers must view library calls as 'black boxes' that hold no particular semantic information. XJit is a framework for self-optimizing libraries built on top of Mono, an open-source implementation of the .NET runtime. Using XJit, library writers can express library-specific semantics with .NET metadata and an elegant graphical language that captures semantic intent using dataflow and control flow concepts. From these specifications, XJit composes high-level semantic optimizations that execute at JIT compile time, transparently optimizing end-user code. Our work shows that XJit has low overhead and a variety of software libraries can use it to achieve significant performance improvements.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
