The deadline is close—ten more days left. Please consider submitting your research to CSER 2025/Spring Dalhousie University cser.ca/2025s/#call #SoftwareEngineering

We are presenting four papers in this week at ICSE (two in MSR, and one each in ICSE and FORGE). Two PhD students Mootez S. and Saurabh Singh Rajput will be around as student volunteers. Feel free to say "Hi!" to us 👋

We will be here ICSE whole week, and I will be presenting my work on Fine-grained energy profiles of DL frameworks. Would love have a chat👋

Dalhousie@ICSE 2025: Together, Dalhousie University software engineering researchers presented three ICSE (two research and one journal-first track), two ICPC (one research and one ERA track), two MSR (one research and one tools track), one FORGE (dataset), and one ICSEW papers.

the deeper you go into cpu optimization the more you realize machine code is just a polite suggestion

CSER Meetings - Canadian Software Eng. Research kicking off🥳 with a keynote from Foutse

Here we go… Foutse is kicking off CSER Meetings - Canadian Software Eng. Research talking about trustworthiness of LLMs.

We continue CSER 2025 with our session on Energy & Sustainability! 🌱 Thank you to our brilliant speakers for sharing their insights on sustainable software systems. Excited to see our community advancing the future of green computing. 💻🌍 #CSER2025

The menu of code review… the second keynote of CSER Meetings - Canadian Software Eng. Research starts on a tasty note by Olga Baysal (she/her)

Kicking off Day 2 of #CSER2025 with our keynote speaker: Prof. Olga Baysal (she/her) from Carleton University! From appetizers on why code review matters, to the main course on its theory, and a dessert of AI applications - "Reimagining Code Review in the Age of AI" serves up a feast of insights!

flash-attention build/install taking ages is so ironic🤦

Moore's law is cool, but why didn't anyone tell me about Huang's law en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huang%27s…

The biggest scandal in AI energy right now deserves to be xAI's data center running 35 methane gas turbines that don't need air permits because "temporary" and don't have catalytic reduction pollution controls installed because... they just didn't bother? simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/12/xa…

To what extent does refactoring actually remove smells? Which refactoring remove which smells? How often do smells disappear w/o any known refactoring? Do all smells live equally long? Our paper exploring these questions has recently accepted at ESEM 2025. Preprint coming soon!

Today, Mootez Mootez S. will present our paper "An adaptive language-agnostic pruning method for greener language models for code" in the 'Fairness and Green' session at 16:00. If you are attending FSE 2025, consider attending it.

Our study, fresh out of the oven, explores how various energy optimization techniques that we refer to as 'knobs' influence each other and help us attain an optimized AI pipeline with energy efficiency as the first-class consideration. #greenai arxiv.org/abs/2506.18289
