Are Computer Architects to Blame for the State of Security Today?
When it comes to hardware support to mitigate software security issues, there is a significant gap between what is available in products today and known solutions. This article examines the history of architectural support, summarizes research philosophies, and delves...
Tackling the Pipeline Problem in the Architecture Research Community
Computer architecture is an important and exciting field of computer science, which enables many other fields (eg. big-data processing, machine learning, quantum computing, and so on). For those of us who pursued computer architecture as a career, this is well...
Three Other Models of Computer System Performance: Part 2
With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. Part 1 previously discussed Bottleneck Analysis and Little’s Law, while this post (Part 2) presents the M/M/1 Queue.
