every year, I get an invitation to a Cornell “Distinguished Chair Holders Luncheon,” which I have never attended, but this is what I imagine it looks like

I have been working on a fake Unix shell, which is 50% practical joke and 50% earnest attempt to make computational pangenomics go fast. https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~asampson/blog/flash.html

A Fake Shell for Pangenomics
cs.cornell.edu

A Fake Shell for Pangenomics

To make our library for efficient pangenomics more palatable, I made a little Unix shell. It “cheats” when it sees commands that invoke other pangenomic CLI tools and runs built-in functionality instead. The shell is built around an instruction-based IR that can fluidly intermix shell-like I/O (files and pipes) with efficient in-memory data structures. In a debatably fair comparison, the fake shell runs one shell script 48× faster than running it with sh.

Analog Library now links to other versions of a DOI, so you can easily get to the PLDI version from the “SIGPLAN Notices” version of a paper you probably don’t want

My most difficult teaching moment, you ask? Last week, I live-coded an assembly program that eventually added 42 and 27 in front of 300 students, and when the simulator showed register a0 containing 69, I only had a split second to decide whether to say “nice”

24 is kind of a lot of papers: it’s the largest LATTE since it started in 2020. This has so far been a high-acceptance-rate, low-key, discussion-first workshop, but maybe we need to do something different next year.

I-structures: data structures for parallel computing

It is difficult to achieve elegance, efficiency, and parallelism simultaneously in functional programs that manipulate large data structures. We demonstrate this through careful analysis of program examples using three common functional data-structuring approaches-lists using Cons, arrays using Update (both fine-grained operators), and arrays using make-array (a “bulk” operator). We then present I-structure as an alternative and show elegant, efficient, and parallel solutions for the program exa

@mattpd@mastodon.social ah, thanks, yes, I had noticed something wrong with ASPLOS 2026 papers in particular: https://codeberg.org/samps/analog-library/issues/22 shouldn’t be too hard to fix, thankfully
Codeberg.org

Fall back to Semantic Scholar API for some abstracts

At least at the moment, the ASPLOS 2026 papers don't have abstracts in Crossref, but they are available from Semantic Scholar. For example: https://al.radbox.org/doi/10.1145/3779212.3790166 https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/DOI:10.1145/3779212.3790166?fields=abstract

@addison@nothing-ever.works do you mean in the BibTeX, or just as separate fields on the page? (fwiw I have tried to keep the BibTeX minimal because that's how some people want it, but we could explore multiple options for verbosity)
