We present a family of abstract machines forclosedreduction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We use this explicit substitution syntax to define a family of abstract machines forclosedreduction using a structured operational semantics for the calculus.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There are several ways of obtaining aclosedreductionstrategy, yielding different calculi of explicit substitutions with explicit resource management.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Our point is that the better sharing allowed byclosedreductiondramatically improves the efficiency on large terms.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The same holds forclosedreduction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, we prefer to allow these rules to be used with open terms since this calculus gives the minimal requirements ofclosedreductionhaving reasonable properties.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This gives a weak form of reduction, calledclosedreduction, which is rich enough to capture both the call-by-value and call-by-name evaluation strategies in the -calculus.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We have developed a series of abstract machines forclosedreductionbased on these calculi, and the experimental results suggest that closed reduction behaves better than the usual weak strategies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Our benchmarks show thatclosedreductionperforms better than all standard weak strategies, and its low overheads make it more efficient than optimal reduction in many cases.
From theCambridge English Corpus
