This paper addresses the multi-agent control problem under global temporal logic tasks, considering agents with heterogeneous capabilities. These global tasks involve not only absolute and relative temporal and spatial constraints, but also…

Simulations based on particle methods, such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), are known to be computationally demanding. While such methods have for long been executed in parallel on multi-core CPUs, in recent years the increasing…

Correct concurrent programs are difficult to write; when multiple threads mutate shared data, they may lose writes, corrupt data, or produce erratic program behavior. While many of the data-race issues with concurrency can be avoided by the…

We address the problem of statically checking safety properties (such as assertions or deadlocks) for parameterized phaser programs. Phasers embody a non-trivial and modern synchronization construct used to orchestrate executions of…

Memory bandwidth regulation and cache partitioning are widely used techniques for achieving predictable timing in real-time computing systems. Combined with partitioned scheduling, these methods require careful co-allocation of tasks and…

The widespread adoption of thinking mode in large language models (LLMs) has significantly enhanced complex task processing capabilities while introducing new security risks. When subjected to jailbreak attacks, the step-by-step reasoning…

The outsourcing of semiconductor manufacturing raises security risks, such as piracy and overproduction of hardware intellectual property. To overcome this challenge, logic locking has emerged to lock a given circuit using additional key…

Multi-socket multi-core servers are used for solving some of the important problems in computing. Remote DRAM accesses can impact performance of certain applications running on such servers. This paper presents a new near linear operating…

Address translation and protection play important roles in today's processors, supporting multiprocessing and enforcing security. Historically, the design of the address translation mechanisms has been closely tied to the instruction set.…

As concurrent programming becomes increasingly prevalent, effectively identifying and addressing concurrency issues such as data races and deadlocks is critical. This study evaluates the performance of several leading large language models…

A key-value cache is a key component of many services to provide low-latency and high-throughput data accesses to a huge amount of data. To improve the end-to-end performance of such services, a key-value cache must achieve a high cache hit…

Attestation is a fundamental building block to establish trust over software systems. When used in conjunction with trusted execution environments, it guarantees that genuine code is executed even when facing strong attackers, paving the…

Many types of attacks on confidentiality stem from the nondeterministic nature of the environment that computer programs operate in (e.g., schedulers and asynchronous communication channels). In this paper, we focus on verification of…

Monotonicity in concurrent systems stipulates that, in any global state, extant system actions remain executable when new processes are added to the state. This concept is not only natural and common in multi-threaded software, but also…

As the use of large language models (LLMs) continues to expand, ensuring their safety and robustness has become a critical challenge. In particular, jailbreak attacks that bypass built-in safety mechanisms are increasingly recognized as a…

As multicore systems continue to gain ground in the High Performance Computing world, linear algebra algorithms have to be reformulated or new algorithms have to be developed in order to take advantage of the architectural features on these…

Runtime verification consists in observing and collecting the execution traces of a system and checking them against a specification, with the objective of raising an error when a trace does not satisfy the specification. We consider…

Energy demands from data centers have surged and stressed the grid in recent years. Electric grids require balancing supply and demand every second, motivating demand response (reduction) from large loads, including data centers. This can…

Current distributed key value stores achieve scalability by trading off consistency. As persistent memory technologies evolve tremendously, it is not necessary to sacrifice consistency for performance. This paper proposes DTranx, a…

Recently, physical layer security in the optical layer has gained significant traction. Security treats in optical networks generally impact the reliability of optical transmission. Linear Network Coding (LNC) can protect from both the…
