Software instruction caching
As microprocessor complexities and costs skyrocket, designers are looking for ways to simplify their designs to reduce costs, improve energy efficiency, or squeeze more computational elements on each chip. This is particularly true for the embedded domain where cost and energy consumption are …

Fault Attacks on Embedded Software: New Directions in Modeling, Design, and Mitigation
This research investigates an important class of hardware attacks against embedded software, which uses fault injection as a hacking tool. Fault attacks use well-chosen, targeted fault injection combined with clever system response analysis to break the security of a system. In case of a fault …

General-purpose Reconfigurable Functional Cache architecture
… to suit the task being executed. Customizing the processor hardware according to the specific requirement of various applications is an extension to the idea of reconfigurability. Reconfigurable cache architecture gives us the flexibility to dynamically alter the execution logic of a processor, …

Cache-based side channels: Modern attacks and defenses
… are key considerations in designing modern processor hardware. It has been shown that, among various data leakage attacks, side channel attacks are one of the most effective and stealthy ones. In a side channel attack, an attacker can steal encryption keys, monitor keystrokes or reveal a …

Does the Halting Necessary for Hardware Trace Collection Inordinately Perturb the Results?
Processor address traces are invaluable for characterizing workloads and testing proposed memory hierarchies. Long traces are needed to exercise modern cache designs and produce meaningful results, but are difficult to collect with hardware monitors because microprocessors access memory too …
