Holistic Hardware Security Assessment Framework: A Microarchitectural Perspective
Tochukwu Idika, Ismail Akturk
Our goal is to enable holistic hardware security evaluation from the microarchitectural point of view. To achieve this, we propose a framework that categorizes threat models based…
Temporal-Rate Encoding to Realize Unary Positional Representation in Spiking Neural Systems
Zhenduo Zhai, Ismail Akturk
Unary representation is straightforward, error tolerant and requires simple logic while its latency is a concern. On the other hand, positional representation (like binary) is comp…
Weight Update Skipping: Reducing Training Time for Artificial Neural Networks
Pooneh Safayenikoo, Ismail Akturk
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are known as state-of-the-art techniques in Machine Learning (ML) and have achieved outstanding results in data-intensive applications, such as re…
On Dynamic Precision Scaling
Serif Yesil, Ismail Akturk, Ulya R. Karpuzcu
Based on the observation that application phases exhibit varying degrees of sensitivity to noise (i.e., accuracy loss) in computation during execution, this paper explores how Dyna…
