Dr. Venkataramani, Dr. Doroslovacki and graduate student Fan Yao will be presented at IEEE HPCA 2018

Prof. Guru Venkataramani's work on hardware security, with Prof. Milos Doroslovacki and graduate student Fan Yao, will be presented at IEEE HPCA 2018 in Vienna, Austria, at the end of February 2018.  The work highlights the vulnerabilities exposed by cache coherence protocols to information leakage, and discusses methods to stop such attacks. With the growing buzz about Meltdown and Spectre that expose hardware vulnerabilities, this study is significant since cache coherence protocols are a feature in almost every modern multi-core processor from cell phones to supercomputers. Watch the short video to learn more!
