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...
Persistent Memory – A New Hope
The Cancellation of the Intel Optane Product Line Recently, Intel announced the cancellation of all Optane products, including both Optane SSDs and Optane Persistent Memory. The news came all of a sudden but was not totally unexpected, as Micron sold the 3D XPoint fab...
A Virtual Interview with John Hennessy and David Patterson
Prof. John Hennessy and Prof. David Patterson received the 2017 ACM A.M. Turing Award for “pioneering a systematic, quantitative approach to the design and evaluation of computer architectures with enduring impact on the microprocessor industry”. I used to read many...Wetware-in-the-loop Visual Computing Systems
René Descartes, inspired by anatomical observations of nerve fibers, suggested in his monumental work Principles of Philosophy that (in modern terms) visual stimuli of the external world are captured and transmitted as fluids traveling through nerve fibers, leading to...
Picking Your Research Direction: Trade-offs You Should Consider
Modern research in computer architecture has been developed far beyond the conventional textbook topics of processor microarchitectures and memory hierarchies, now expanding to a much more diverse range of novel areas. Computer architects can explore many promising...
The Fall of Datacenter Software
The research community has long predicted the death of Moore’s law and attendant growth in datacenter hardware speeds. In a few years, datacenter networks will grow an order of magnitude from 40Gb to 400Gb. Systems researchers, including myself, have been preparing...Subscribe
