This $499,587 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Northeastern University aimed at improving the predictability of performance for just-in-time compilation in the Julia programming language. The Julia language strives for high-level abstractions that compile down to efficient code comparable to languages like C. However, achieving predictable performance is challenging due to the non-local information compilers require.

This project will formalize existing concepts in Julia related to "world age" and "type stability" that allow programmers to predict performance. Researchers will argue for the correctness of these concepts. The work advances the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program objective to support computing research and education by developing a better understanding of the Julia language. This will benefit both programmers and tool developers seeking predictable performance from high-level scientific code. The award period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
