Snap-On User-Space Manager for Dynamically Reconfigurable System-on-Chips
Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Sahand Kashani
Due to increased embedded processing requirements, modern SoCs are becoming heterogeneous computing platforms by combining traditional processing units with custom reconfigurable hardware accelerators (HAs) on an FPGA fabric. However, efficiently managing ...
2019Milkomeda: Safeguarding the Mobile GPU Interface Using WebGL Security Checks
GPU-accelerated graphics is commonly used in mobile applications. Unfortunately, the graphics interface exposes a large amount of potentially vulnerable kernel code (i.e., the GPU device driver) to untrusted applications. This broad attack surface has resu ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2018TwinDrivers: Semi-Automatic Derivation of Fast and Safe Hypervisor Network Drivers from Guest OS Drivers
Willy Zwaenepoel, Aravind Menon, Simon Schubert
In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor. Doing so protects the hypervisor from bugs in the driver, and also allows the reuse of the device driver and its support infrastructure ...
ACM2009Reverse-Engineering Drivers for Safety and Portability
George Candea, Vitaly Chipounov
Device drivers today lack two important properties: guaranteed safety and cross-platform portability. We present an approach to incrementally achieving these properties in drivers, without requiring any changes in the drivers or operating system kernels. W ...
