Proba: A High-Performance, Low-Traffic Probabilistic Spatial Memory Streaming Prefetcher
Yinting Huang, Jacky Wong, Sam Ainsworth
Spatial Memory Streaming (SMS) prefetchers exploit recurring spatial access patterns across memory regions to predict future accesses. Despite their effectiveness, existing SMS-bas…
Remote-Timer-as-a-Service: Efficient Microarchitectural Leakage in the Cloud with Remote Timers
Martin Schwarzl, Haocheng Xiao, Albert Pedersen +2
Edge computing solutions have become a crucial part of the industry, delivering fast, flexible and scalable applications close to the end users, with typical use cases including dy…
Triangel: A High-Performance, Accurate, Timely On-Chip Temporal Prefetcher
Sam Ainsworth, Lev Mukhanov
Temporal prefetching, where correlated pairs of addresses are logged and replayed on repeat accesses, has recently become viable in commercial designs. Arm's latest processors incl…
CONVOLVE: Smart and seamless design of smart edge processors
M. Gomony, F. Putter, A. Gebregiorgis +25
With the rise of Deep Learning (DL), our world braces for AI in every edge device, creating an urgent need for edge-AI SoCs. This SoC hardware needs to support high throughput, rel…
Hacky Racers: Exploiting Instruction-Level Parallelism to Generate Stealthy Fine-Grained Timers
Haocheng Xiao, Sam Ainsworth
Side-channel attacks pose serious threats to many security models, especially sandbox-based browsers. While transient-execution side channels in out-of-order processors have previo…
GhostMinion: A Strictness-Ordered Cache System for Spectre Mitigation
Sam Ainsworth
Out-of-order speculation, a technique ubiquitous since the early 1990s, remains a fundamental security flaw. Via attacks such as Spectre and Meltdown, an attacker can trick a victi…
MuonTrap: Preventing Cross-Domain Spectre-Like Attacks by Capturing Speculative State
Sam Ainsworth, Timothy M. Jones
The disclosure of the Spectre speculative-execution attacks in January 2018 has left a severe vulnerability that systems are still struggling with how to patch. The solutions that…
