基于大规模数据处理的程序分析技术研究

Static program analysis is widely used in various application areas to solve many practical problems, such as software defects and vulnerability detection, program optimization, software testing and debugging, software maintenance. Due to the importance of static analysis, researchers have always been studying it for a long time. Although people have made significant achievements on static analysis, it is still too challenging to perform sophisticated static analysis on large-scale modern software. The underlying reason is that sophisticated static analysis for large-scale modern software results in highly intensive computation and huge memory consumption, leading to poor scalability. This project aims to tackle the above research problem. From the perspective of big data processing, we propose a novel data-parallel solution for scalable and precise static analysis. Specifically, the project consists of four parts, namely the design of data-parallel algorithm for highly precise static analysis, the design of highly scalable computation model, the implementation and optimization of distributed system, and the development of practical analysis applications. By taking advantage of advanced methodologies and techniques in the community of programming languages, software engineering and big data systems, we study, devise and develop a user-friendly, scalable distributed system for sophisticated static analysis. Consequently, we can succeed in performing various precise static analysis on large-scale modern software.
