Continuous mobile vision is limited by the inability to efficiently capture image frames and
process vision features. This is largely due to the energy burden of analog readout circuitry …

As technology scales, GPUs are forecasted to incorporate an ever-increasing amount of
computing resources to support thread-level parallelism. But even with the best effort …

Virtual Private Machines (VPM) provide a framework for Quality of Service (QoS) in CMP-
based computer systems. VPMs incorporate microarchitecture mechanisms that allow …

This paper describes the architecture and implementation of the Tahoma Web browsing
system. Key to Tahoma is the browser operating system (BOS), a new trusted software layer …

Software cache-based side channel attacks present serious threats to modern computer
systems. Using caches as a side channel, these attacks are able to derive secret keys used …

The key to high performance in Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) processors lies in
optimizing the distribution of shared resources to active threads. Existing resource …

A fundamental problem in software based security is whether local security checks inserted
into the code are sufficient to implement a global security property. We introduce a formalism …

Current operating systems (OS) perceive the different contexts of simultaneous
multithreaded (SMT) processors as multiple independent processing units, although, in …

We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically
detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with the …

Symbiotic job scheduling boosts simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor performance
by co-scheduling jobs that havecompatible'demands on the processor's shared resources …
