Software-based, fine-grain control flow integrity (CFI) validation technique has been proposed to enforce control flow integrity of program execution. By validating every indirect...
The interconnect mechanisms (shared bus or crossbar) used in current chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) are expected to become a bottleneck that prevents these architectures from scaling...
The control system of many complex mechatronic products requires for each task the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET), which is needed for the scheduler's admission tests and su...
—Current micro-architecture blindly uses the address in the program counter to fetch and execute instructions without validating its legitimacy. Whenever this blind-folded instru...
This paper examines how the performance of a shared-memory multiprocessor can be improved by including hardware support for block transfers. A system similar to the Hector multipr...
