arXiv:2308.04214v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the domain of knowledge representation and reasoning within AI, datalog engines play an ever-increasingly crucial role. The crux of their operation lies in materialization: the evaluation of a data- log program and its incorporation into a database. This operation becomes complex and resource-intensive, especially when the data is highly dynamic, as it is common in distributed environments. Thus, incremental materialization, adjusti...

Code generation systems make each LLM call with a model, a prompt, and decoding settings. However, existing optimization methods usually tune only part of these choices or use one fixed configuration for all tasks: global optimizers search one configuration for all tasks, routers choose only a model, and prompt optimizers keep the model and decoding settings fixed. This leaves their joint, group-specific interactions unclear. We therefore exam... Read more ›

This article examines the use of the Prolog language for writing verification, analysis and transformation tools. Guided by experience in teaching and the development of verification tools like ProB or specialisation tools like ECCE and LOGEN, the article presents an assessment of various aspects of Prolog and provides guidelines for using them. The article shows the usefulness of a few key Prolog features. In particular, it discusses how to deal with negation at the level of the object progr... Read more ›

Andrea Peruffo discusses the evolution of WebAssembly beyond the browser and its growing role on the server-side JVM. He covers performance advancements in Wasm runtimes, moving from interpreters to efficient JIT compilation, and explores real-world production use cases ranging from edge computing platforms to modular plugin architectures.

A flat BM25 index over one billion documents occupies about 400 GB. Holding it in memory requires DRAM proportional to corpus size. Serving it from disk takes 4-12 seconds per query. Exact top-k lexical retrieval at this scale is therefore impractical within an interactive latency budget. Hierarchical BM25 gives up exact ranking in exchange for fixed bounds on memory and latency. A resident coarse index selects which of ~1K topical, size-balance... Read more ›

I have a copy of SICP, or as it is also known, The Wizard Book. This book is widely praised, but I can’t take the time to work my way through all of it. Instead, I’m going to occasionally jump into the parts of it that look interesting. Since last week, are in the process of simulating a digital circuit. The reason this is interesting is the solution in SICP uses hidden mutable state and message-passing to make the code object-oriented. It even uses a mutable global variable for scheduling! W...

Speaking of OpenBSD: Yes, you read that right. Modern development tools in the form of the LLVM compiler infrastructure is well on its way to supporting OpenBSD/sparc64 along with other more conventional architectures. The support is now ready for testing, via a patch set presented by Kirill A. Korinsky in a message to the tech@ mailing list, with the subject LLVM toolchain for sparc64. ↫ Peter N. M. Hansteen On a related note, the the entire LLVM stack (version 19.1.7, including llvm’s binut... Read more ›
