The Dimension of the Body in Higher Education: Matrix of Meanings in Students’ Diaries

In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through the use of performing arts in the curricular context of scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions in higher education repro ...

Micro-architectural Analysis of Database Workloads

Utku Sirin

Database workloads have significantly evolved in the past twenty years. Traditional database systems that are mainly used to serve Online Transactional Processing (OLTP) workloads evolved into specialized database systems that are optimized for particular ...

mu RAI: Securing Embedded Systems with Return Address Integrity

Mathias Josef Payer

Embedded systems are deployed in security critical environments and have become a prominent target for remote attacks. Microcontroller-based systems (MCUS) are particularly vulnerable due to a combination of limited resources and low level programming whic ...

Pipeline Synthesis and Optimization from Branched Feedback Dataflow Programs

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati, Anatoly Prihozhy

Large dataflow designs are a result of behavioral specification of modern complex digital systems and/or a result of unfolding and transforming looped and branched programs. Since deep-submicron silicon technology provides large amounts of available resour ...

SoK: Shining Light on Shadow Stacks

Mathias Josef Payer, Xiangyu Zhang

Control-Flow Hijacking attacks are the dominant attack vector against C/C++ programs. Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) solutions mitigate these attacks on the forward edge, i.e., indirect calls through function pointers and virtual calls. Protecting the backwa ...

Linebacker: Preserving Victim Cache Lines in Idle Register Files of GPUs

Yunho Oh

Modern GPUs suffer from cache contention due to the limited cache size that is shared across tens of concurrently running warps. To increase the per-warp cache size prior techniques proposed warp throttling which limits the number of active warps. Warp thr ...

A Fast, Reliable and Wide-voltage-range In-memory Computing Architecture

David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, William Andrew Simon

In-Memory Computing (IMC) solutions, and particularly bitline computing in SRAM, appear promising as they mitigate one of the most energy consuming aspects in computation: data movement. In this work we propose a fast (2.4Ghz for bitwise operations and 2.4 ...

Design of approximate and precision-scalable circuits for embedded multimedia and neural-network processing

Vincent Frédéric Camus

Density, speed and energy efficiency of integrated circuits have been increasing exponentially for the last four decades following Moore's law. However, power and reliability pose several challenges to the future of technology scaling. Approximate computin ...

LTRF: Enabling High-Capacity Register Files for GPUs via Hardware/Software Cooperative Register Prefetching

Babak Falsafi, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Hamid Sarbazi-Azad, Seyed Borna Ehsani

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) employ large register files to accommodate all active threads and accelerate context switching. Unfortunately, register files are a scalability bottleneck for future GPUs due to long access latency, high power consumption, ...

Efficient Dynamic Optimisation Heuristics for Dataflow Pipelines

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati, Anatoly Prihozhy

Large dataflow designs appear as a result of functional specification of modern complex digital systems and/ or a result of unfolding and behavioral transformation of looped and branched programs. Since deep-submicron silicon technology provides large amou ...
