It has become increasingly difficult to understand the complex interactions between modern
applications and main memory, composed of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) …

Shared cache resources in multi-core processors are vulnerable to cache side-channel
attacks. Recently proposed defenses have their own caveats: Randomization-based …

Spatial memory errors such as buffer overflows still rank among the top vulnerabilities in
C/C++ programs. Despite much research in the area, the performance overhead of (even …

In this paper, we identify new partial data redundancy among multiple cache lines that are
not exploited by traditional memory compression or memory deduplication. We propose …

Many applications have been offloaded onto cloud environments to achieve higher agility,
access to more powerful computational resources, and obtain better infrastructure …

The SPEC CPU Benchmarks are used extensively for evaluating and comparing
improvements to computer systems. This ubiquity makes characterization critical for …

RowHammer attacks are a growing security and reliability concern for DRAMs and computer
systems as they can induce many bit errors that overwhelm error detection and correction …

To facilitate the safe adoption of multi-core platforms in real-time systems, a plethora of
recent research efforts aim at bounding the delays induced by interference upon accessing …

Attacks on heap memory are ever-increasing. Existing entropy-based secure memory
allocators can provide statistical defenses against various heap-based exploits, including …

As the technology scaling advances, limitations of traditional memories in terms of density
and energy become more evident. Modern caches occupy a large part of a CPU physical …
