The paper introduces HPCCFA, a novel mechanism that leverages Hardware Performance Counters (HPCs) to provide hardware-backed Control Flow Attestation (CFA) on commodity CPUs, thereby enhancing the se…

The paper introduces PVAC, a novel victim-based row counting mechanism that accurately tracks RowHammer attacks by incrementing counters on the victim row, thereby improving hammering tolerance and pe…

The paper proposes Rowhammer Vulnerability Counter (RVC), a novel framework that improves RowHammer mitigation by tracking a row's actual vulnerability to bit flips rather than relying on simple activ…

This paper introduces DiStash, a disaggregated transactional key-value store that enables an application to use a single transaction to manage key-value pairs across different pools of stashes, preven…

The paper implements and evaluates several hardware priority queue architectures on modern FPGA platforms and provides a quantitative analysis.

This paper presents an open-source tool for generating efficient hardware parsers from high-level specifications using a decoupled parsing intermediate representation and custom symbolic tokens.

The I/O Resource Manager (IORM) is presented as a multi-stage distributed scheduler to maintain consistent performance and enforce global I/O limits in shared-nothing disaggregated storage clusters.

This paper argues that idle cores on contemporary multicore processors can return compute capacity and proposes a budget-centric view of service core systems.

This paper presents a lock-free linear-probing hash table with wait-free lookups, using a small amount of metadata and maintaining space efficiency.

The paper proposes HammerWatch, a novel remote attestation protocol that enables external verifiers to detect hardware-induced disturbances, specifically Rowhammer-like attacks, by analyzing memory-le…

A simple online algorithm is presented for the stacking problem to avoid shifts with a sufficient condition involving stacking area dimension, load/unload points, and maximum items.

The paper proposes PrISM, an intersection-based probabilistic mitigation technique that significantly improves the scalability of RowHammer defense at low thresholds by correlating sampled row history…

This paper shows #P-completeness for several graph counting problems using a new technique.

This paper proposes a threshold-free checkpoint audit method using two internal signals to detect if an open-weight checkpoint's refusal mechanism has been stripped.

The paper introduces PoSME, a cryptographic primitive that enforces strict sequential memory execution by chaining data-dependent writes, providing verifiable delay and authorship attestation.

The paper introduces DrvHorn, a novel automated tool that detects reference counting bugs in Linux kernel drivers by transforming the verification problem into an assertion checking task, successfully…

This paper introduces a new lock-free multi-word compare-and-swap algorithm with a contention-aware helping mechanism and version embedding approach to improve efficiency and consistency, achieving up…

The paper characterizes 'dead-entry' TLB misses in GPUs, which occur when recently evicted translations are immediately re-walked, and proposes DEPOT, a Bloom filter mechanism that significantly reduc…
