| Guidelines |
| Developers often come across situations where it is possible to implement the same functionality (algorithms, database queries, data manipulation, etc.) in multiple different ways. There can be a significant difference in the performance of these implementations and using an inappropriate one can have a negative impact on the application. In order to avoid this, the developer currently has to test the performance manually, select the best option and then use it in the program. The performance usually depends on the execution context (input data, configuration, etc.), so there might not be a single solution that would be the best in every case.
The goal of the thesis is to design and implement a Scala programming language framework, which would allow the developer to easily include more implementations of the same function in the program. The runtime support of the framework would then track the usages of the function, choose the implementation according to the context and measure performance, iteratively improving itself. The framework will be tested on real cases, e.g. the Apache Spark cluster computing system applications. |
