Language Run-time Systems: an Overview
Abstract
The proliferation of high-level programming languages with advanced language features and the need for portability across increasingly heterogeneous and hierarchical architectures require a sophisticated run-time system to manage program execution and available resources. Additional benefits include isolated execution of untrusted code and the potential for dynamic optimisation, among others. This paper provides a high-level overview of language run-time systems with a focus on execution models, support for concurrency and parallelism, memory management, and communication, whilst briefly mentioning synchronisation, monitoring, and adaptive policy control. Two alternative approaches to run-time system design are presented and several challenges for future research are outlined. References to both seminal and recent work are provided.
