Fault-injection attacks have been proven in the past to be a reliable way of bypassing
hardware-based security measures, such as cryptographic hashes, privilege and access …

In this paper, we present the first automated system-level analysis of multicore CPUs based
on ARMv8 64-bit architecture (8-core, 28nm X-Gene 2 micro-server by AppliedMicro) when …

We empirically evaluate an undervolting technique, ie, underscaling the circuit supply
voltage below the nominal level, to improve the power-efficiency of Convolutional Neural …

Microprocessor power consumption and dependability are both crucial challenges that
designers have to cope with due to shrinking feature sizes and increasing transistor counts …

Energy efficiency is a known major concern for computing system designers. Significant
effort is devoted to power optimization of modern systems, especially in large-scale …

With the reduced noise margin brought by relentless technology scaling, power integrity
assurance has become more challenging than ever. On the other hand, traditional design …

Modern large-scale computing systems (data centers, supercomputers, cloud and edge
setups and high-end cyber-physical systems) employ heterogeneous architectures that …

CPUs typically operate at a voltage which is higher than what is strictly required, using
voltage margins to account for process variability and anticipate any combination of adverse …

Modern CPUs dynamically scale voltage and frequency for efficiency. However, too low
voltages can result in security-critical errors. Hence, vendors use a generous safety margin …

Branch prediction units are key performance components in modern microprocessors as
they are widely used to address control hazards and minimize misprediction stalls. The …
