Architectural simulators help in better understanding the behaviour of existing architectures and the design of new architectures. Virtualization has regained importance and this has put a pressing demand for the simulation of virtualized…

Recent announcements have shown the viability of end-to-end open-source (OS) Linux-capable RISC-V systems on chip (SoCs). However, practical application and software development platforms require efficient non-volatile storage, which is not…

The RVfpga course offers a solid introduction to computer architecture using the RISC-V instruction set and FPGA technology. It focuses on providing hands-on experience with real-world RISC-V cores, the VeeR EH1 and the VeeR EL2, developed…

The use of intrinsic functions to leverage hardware-specific capabilities is a crucial approach for optimizing library performance. Many mainstream libraries implement a large number of vectorized algorithms on Arm or x86 SIMD…

Control flow integrity (CFI) has received significant attention in the community to combat control hijacking attacks in the presence of memory corruption vulnerabilities. The challenges in creating a practical CFI has resulted in the…

The European Union's technological sovereignty strategy centers around the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture, with the European Processor Initiative leading efforts to build production-ready processors. Focusing on realizing a functional…

Attacks based on side-channel analysis (SCA) pose a severe security threat to modern computing platforms, further exacerbated on IoT devices by their pervasiveness and handling of private and critical data. Designing SCA-resistant computing…

The Rocket Chip Generator uses a collection of parameterized processor components to produce RISC-V-based SoCs. It is a powerful tool that can produce a wide variety of processor designs ranging from tiny embedded processors to complex…

Owing to the failure of Dennard's scaling the last decade has seen a steep growth of prominent new paradigms leveraging opportunities in computer architecture. Two technologies of interest are Posit and RISC-V. Posit was introduced in…

Vector architectures are gaining traction for highly efficient processing of data-parallel workloads, driven by all major ISAs (RISC-V, Arm, Intel), and boosted by landmark chips, like the Arm SVE-based Fujitsu A64FX, powering the TOP500…

In the last decade we have witnessed a rapid growth in data center systems, requiring new and highly complex networking devices. The need to refresh networking infrastructure whenever new protocols or functions are introduced, and the…

Endpoint devices for Internet-of-Things not only need to work under extremely tight power envelope of a few milliwatts, but also need to be flexible in their computing capabilities, from a few kOPS to GOPS. Near-threshold(NT) operation can…

Quilc is an open-source, optimizing compiler for gate-based quantum programs written in Quil or QASM, two popular quantum programming languages. The compiler was designed with attention toward NISQ-era quantum computers, specifically…

Reverse engineering (RE) of user interfaces (UIs) plays an important role in software evolution. However, the large diversity of UI technologies and the need for UIs to be resizable make this challenging. We propose ReverseORC, a novel RE…

The demand for energy-efficient and high performance embedded systems drives the evolution of new hardware architectures, including concepts like approximate computing. This paper presents a novel reconfigurable embedded platform named…

This PhD dissertation investigates garbage-free reversible computing systems from abstract design to physical gate-level implementation. Designed in reversible logic, we propose a ripple-block carry adder and work towards a reversible…

We explain how to design RISC-V shellcodes capable of running arbitrary code, whose ASCII binary representation use only letters a-zA-Z, digits 0-9, and either of the three characters: #, /, '.

In this paper, we propose a high-performance RISC-V soft processor with an efficient fetch unit supporting the compressed instructions targeting on FPGA. The compressed instruction extension in RISC-V can reduce the program size by about…

RISC-V open-source systems are emerging in deployment scenarios where safety and security are critical. OpenTitan is an open-source silicon root-of-trust designed to be deployed in a wide range of systems, from high-end to deeply embedded…

Return-oriented programming (ROP) is a code reuse attack that chains short snippets of existing code to perform arbitrary operations on target machines. Existing detection methods against ROP exhibit unsatisfactory detection accuracy and/or…
