Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the microarchitectural complexity of
processors. This increase in complexity presents a twofold challenge for the field of …

Rowhammer allows an attacker to induce bit flips in a row by rapidly accessing neighboring
rows. Rowhammer is a severe security threat as it can be used to escalate privilege or break …

Prior work shows that Rowhammer attacks---which flip bits in DRAM via frequent activations
of the same row (s)---are viable. Adversaries typically mount these attacks via instruction …

We propose CXL-ANNS, a software-hardware collaborative approach to enable highly
scalable approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) services. To this end, we first …

Serverless computing has emerged as a widely-used paradigm for running services in the
cloud. In serverless, developers organize their applications as a set of functions, which are …

Stencil computations are commonly used in a wide variety of scientific applications, ranging
from large-scale weather prediction to solving partial differential equations. Stencil …

This paper presents the first comprehensive analysis of contention-based security
vulnerabilities in a high-performance simultaneous mulithreaded (SMT) processor. It …

Design space exploration (DSE) for microarchitecture parameters is an essential stage in
microprocessor design to explore the trade-offs among performance, power, and area …

Processing-in-memory (PIM) has been explored for decades by computer architects, yet it
has never seen the light of day in real-world products due to its high design overheads and …

Rowhammer-induced bit-flips are a threat to DRAM security. To mitigate Rowhammer,
DDR4 devices employ TRR, an in-DRAM tracker, to identify aggressor rows. In-DRAM …
