Trail: Scalable and Low-Cost Temporal TLB Prefetching via Page-Table-Embedded Deltas
Konstantinos Kanellopoulos, Konstantinos Sgouras, Harsh Songara +2
Address translation is a major bottleneck in data-intensive workloads. TLB prefetching can hide translation latency, but existing spatial prefetchers struggle with irregular access…
Terracotta: Enabling the Adoption of New DRAM Techniques via a Flexible DRAM Interface and Memory Controller
Harsh Songara, Konstantinos Kanellopoulos, F. Nisa Bostancı +6
DRAM continues to limit the performance, energy efficiency, and robustness of modern systems. Many prior works propose DRAM techniques that support in-DRAM computation, improve mem…
Argus: Agentic, Reference-Calibrated, Tree-Guided, System-Software-Level Bottleneck Localization
Vlad-Petru Nitu, Harsh Songara, Konstantinos Sgouras +3
Operating system (OS) code can account for a substantial share of CPU execution time. First, as application logic is offloaded to heterogeneous accelerators (e.g., GPUs), the CPU i…
ColumnKeeper: Efficient Solutions to the ColumnDisturb Vulnerability in DRAM-based Systems
Andreas Kosmas Kakolyris, F. Nisa Bostanci, Ataberk Olgun +7
Modern DRAM chips are vulnerable to read disturbance phenomena such as RowHammer and RowPress, which induce bitflips after accessing nearby rows a certain number of times (the read…
In-DRAM Signature Generation Using Simultaneous Multiple-Row Activation: An Experimental Study of Off-The-Shelf DRAM Chips
Umut Baser, Ismail Emir Yuksel, F. Nisa Bostanci +7
We experimentally demonstrate that it is possible to generate unique, repeatable, and device-specific signatures suitable for use as Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) responses in…
Revelator: Rapid Data Fetching via System-Software-Guided Hash-based Speculative Address Translation
Konstantinos Kanellopoulos, Konstantinos Sgouras, Harsh Songara +7
Address translation is a major performance bottleneck in modern computing systems. Predicting the physical address (PA) of requested data before address translation completes can h…
