Rapid progress in the CMOS technology for the past 25 years has increased the
vulnerability of processors towards faults. Subsequently, focus of computer architects shifted …

Modern computing systems employ significant heterogeneity and specialization to meet
performance targets at manageable power. However, memory latency bottlenecks remain …

Power and cost constraints in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) extreme-edge and TinyML
domains, coupled with increasing performance requirements, motivate a trend toward …

Digital designs complexity has exponentially increased in the last decades. Heterogeneous
Systems-on-Chip integrate many different hardware components which require a reliable …

Covert channels enable information leakage between security domains that should be
isolated by observing execution differences in shared hardware. These channels can …

Philosophically, our approaches to acceleration focus on the extreme. We must optimise
accelerators to the maximum, leaving software to fix any hardware-software mismatches …

IoT applications span a wide range in performance and memory footprint, under tight cost
and power constraints. High-end applications rely on power-hungry Systems-on-Chip …

Progressively and increasingly, our society has become more and more dependent on
semiconductors and semiconductor-enabled products and services. The importance of chips …

Chips with tens of billions of transistors have become today's norm. These designs are
straining our electronic design automation tools throughout the design process, requiring …

Traditionally, architecture prototypes are built on top of FPGA infrastructure, with two
associated problems. First, very large FPGAs are prohibitively expensive for most people …
