Looking Beyond Microarchitectural Side Channels
Distbench: A Flexible Network Benchmarking Tool
Networking performance is critical to distributed applications, and there are always efforts underway to improve the performance of datacenter network communication stacks. These efforts take a variety of approaches. For example, they may result in either new hardware...Scaling through Small: Applying Modularity toward Practical Quantum Architectures

Fast memcpy, A System Design
When I worked at Google, fleet-wide profiling revealed that 25-35% of all CPU time was spent just moving bytes around: memcpy, strcmp, copying between user and kernel buffers in network and disk I/O, hidden copy-on-write in soft page faults, checksumming, compressing,...
Architecture and Hardware Security Research at USENIX Security Symposium 2022
In Memoriam — Michel Dubois (April 25, 1953 – July 7, 2022)
It is with deep sadness and great sorrow that we inform the community about the recent passing of our dear friend and colleague, Professor Michel Dubois, a foundational leader in our field of computer architecture and parallel processing. In Michel’s honor, a memorial symposium in celebration of his life and scholarly contributions will be held on Saturday, October 29th, at USC in Los Angeles, California.
Security of Quantum Computer Architectures
Introduction When thinking of security and quantum computers, many people may automatically think of using quantum computers for attacks on classical computers, by use of the Grover’s and Shor’s algorithms running on the quantum computers to break a number of existing...
Safety Analysis for Autonomous Driving Computing Systems
At 6pm in the evening, you get into a car and tell the restaurant you will have dinner. The car will drive itself there, while you may choose to read a book, surf the web, or take a nap. You may have once considered this a science fiction scene, but now it is becoming...Subscribe
