Distributed Call-Graph Analysis

This repository contains a distributed Call-Graph analysis for C# built on top of The .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") and Orleans - Distributed Virtual Actor Model. The analysis is designed to scale with the size of the input and can be deployed on Microsoft Azure: Cloud Computing Platform & Services. The reliance on a cloud cluster provides a degree of elasticity for CPU, memory, and storage resources.

For more detailed information take a look to the following documents:

• Toward Full Elasticity in Distributed Static Analysis: The Case of Callgraph Analysis [Paper] [PDF]
• Technical Report [PDF].
