Power side-channel attacks exploit variations in power consumption to extract secrets from a
device, eg, cryptographic keys. Prior attacks typically required physical access to the target …

Compared with von Neumann's computer architecture, neuromorphic systems offer more
unique and novel solutions to the artificial intelligence discipline. Inspired by biology, this …

Architectural simulation is time-consuming, and the trend towards hundreds of cores is
making sequential simulation even slower. Existing parallel simulation techniques either …

In this paper, we assess the past, present, and future of mobile CPU design. We study how
mobile CPU designs trends have impacted the end-user, hardware design, and the holistic …

Chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) must often execute workload mixes with different performance
requirements. On one hand, user-facing, latency-critical applications (eg, web search) need …

Static binary rewriting is a core technology for many systems and security applications,
including profiling, optimization, and software fault isolation. While many static binary …

In the late 1990s, powerful economic forces led to the adoption of commodity desktop
processors in high-performance computing. This transformation has been so effective that …

In this paper, we show that cache partitioning does not necessarily ensure predictable cache
performance in modern COTS multicore platforms that use non-blocking caches to exploit …

Optimized hardware for propagating and checking software-programmable metadata tags
can achieve low runtime overhead. We generalize prior work on hardware tagging by …

Heterogeneous multicore architectures have the potential for high performance and energy
efficiency. These architectures may be composed of small power-efficient cores, large high …
