- `Compiler Validation via Equivalence Modulo Inputs
  <https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~su/publications/emi.pdf>`__

Interesting approach to testing a program for faults. To summarize: For a set of
inputs 'I' to a program 'P', 'P' can be divided into executed and unexecuted
code ("dead code"). Re-ordering/manipulation on the dead code should cause no
variance to the outputs for the inputs. This technique "EMI" allows one to 
have many versions of a program (in this case, a compiler) and test for
miscompilations.
