We describe Instruction-Set Randomization (ISR), a general approach for safeguarding systems against any type of code-injection attack. We apply Kerckhoffs' principle to creat...

We obtain analytically, the energy optimal speed profile of a generic multi-speed device with a discrete set of speeds, to execute a given task within a given time. Current implem...
Many machines used in the modern hospital settings offer real time physiological monitoring. Haemodialysis machines combine a therapeutic treatment system integrated with sophistic...

Accurate instruction fetch and branch prediction is increasingly important on today’s wide-issue architectures. Fetch prediction is the process of determining the next instructi...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the use of messagepassing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the perfor...
