Chip multicore processors (CMPs) have emerged as the dominant architecture choice for
modern computing platforms and will most likely continue to be dominant well into the …

Modern computing systems are overwhelmingly designed to move data to computation. This
design choice goes directly against at least three key trends in computing that cause …

We are experiencing an explosive growth in the number of consumer devices, including
smartphones, tablets, web-based computers such as Chromebooks, and wearable devices …

After a plethora of high-profile RowHammer attacks, CPU and DRAM vendors scrambled to
deliver what was meant to be the definitive hardware solution against the RowHammer …

NAND flash memory is ubiquitous in everyday life today because its capacity has
continuously increased and cost has continuously decreased over decades. This positive …

Memory isolation is critical for system reliability, security, and safety. Unfortunately, read
disturbance can break memory isolation in modern DRAM chips. For example, RowHammer …

Many modern and emerging applications must process increasingly large volumes of data.
Unfortunately, prevalent computing paradigms are not designed to efficiently handle such …

Aggressive memory density scaling causes modern DRAM devices to suffer from
RowHammer, a phenomenon where rapidly activating (ie, hammering) a DRAM row can …

Data movement between the CPU and main memory is a first-order obstacle against improv
ing performance, scalability, and energy efficiency in modern systems. Computer systems …

Several system-level operations trigger bulk data copy or initialization. Even though these
bulk data operations do not require any computation, current systems transfer a large …
