The lab studies the design, implementation, and application of programming languages.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing programming languages alongside theory.
The Sato Lab studies the design, implementation, and application of programming languages, as well as systematic programming.
Language design goes hand in hand with theoretical tools.
Current projects include an optimizing compiler for MN-Core, data-parallel DSLs, and support for programming in notebooks.
The lab is also known as PLSP-Lab.
Key terms
- Compiler
- Software that converts a program written by a person into a form a computer can execute
- DSL
- A programming language built for a specific purpose. Also called a domain-specific language
- Formal verification
- A method that uses mathematical techniques to confirm that a program behaves as specified
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts broad research on the design, implementation, and application of programming languages, and on systematic programming. Ongoing projects include an optimizing compiler for MN-Core.
