We show how to employ functional programming techniques to solve with elegance the challenge of using a high-level language to describe functionality and a separate schedule to specify how the program should be optimized.
Technical Perspective: Reconsidering the Design of User-Schedulable Languages
The breakthrough of "Achieving High Performance the Functional Way," by Bastian Hagedorn et al., is in fundamentally rethinking the design of user-schedulable languages so that decades of wisdom from traditional programming languages can be brought to bear.
Feather-light yet providing near-total shielding capability, MXenes effectively conduct electricity, tune frequencies, and enhance the integrity of communications signals better than traditional materials.
And how did some prominent journalists utterly miss this initially?
Using GitHub CoPilot is Like Having a Superpower
With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) and tools like GitHub CoPilot, I think we’re a step closer towards a world where software can be created by anyone. In fact, my colleague Brad Myers, who has investigated end-user programming for decades, believes that CoPilot is the biggest change to programming since Google search. I think this may be understating things. We’re going to see a wave of new kinds of software programming tools based on LLMs, and they will be transformative in how developers build and evaluate computer systems.
Ambient IoT Gets Down to Business
Highly flexible, inexpensive low-energy sensors combined with pervasive connectivity and artificial intelligence deliver real-time triggers without human intervention.

The Holy Grail of Electric Vehicles: Solid-State Batteries
Manufacturers look to make batteries safer and help them last longer by replacing liquid cores with solid ones.
The Need For Combined Data And Analytic Governance
Numbers don't mean anything if people don't understand, or trust, the computation behind them.
(Re)Use of Research Results (Is Rampant)
Prior pessimism about reuse in software engineering research may have been a result of using the wrong methods to measure the wrong things.
HPC Forecast: Cloudy and Uncertain
An examination of how the technology landscape has changed and possible future directions for HPC operations and innovation.
The Lean Data Scientist: Recent Advances Toward Overcoming the Data Bottleneck
A taxonomy of the methods used to obtain quality datasets enhances existing resources.
Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees
We present a sound verification technique based on abstract interpretation and implement it in a tool called Antidote, which abstractly trains decision trees for an intractably large space of possible poisoned datasets.
An ancient Roman dispatched to find the greatest technological advances of the time may lose something of far greater importance.
Computational Linguistics Finds Its Voice
Advances in artificial intelligence permit computers to converse with humans in seemingly realistic ways.
Can AI Demonstrate Creativity?
When fed a sufficient amount of training data, artificial intelligence techniques can be used to generate new ideas in several different ways. Is that creativity?
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
