Intel(R) Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) is a hardware-based technology for ensuring security of sensitive data from disclosure or modification that enables user-level applications to allocate protected areas of memory called enclaves. Such…

FPGAs are now ubiquitous in cloud computing infrastructures and reconfigurable system-on-chip, particularly for AI acceleration. Major cloud service providers such as Amazon and Microsoft are increasingly incorporating FPGAs for specialized…

Hardware enclaves such as Intel SGX are a promising technology for improving the security of databases outsourced to the cloud. These enclaves provide an execution environment isolated from the hypervisor/OS, and encrypt data in RAM.…

One of the main issues in the OS security is to provide trusted code execution in an untrusted environment. During executing, kernel-mode drivers allocate and process memory data: OS internal structures, users private information, and…

CXL shared memory and persistent memory allow the contents of memory to persist beyond crashes. Stores to persistent or CXL memory are typically not immediately made persistent; developers must manually flush the corresponding cache lines…

We provide an overview of recent developments and future directions in the RowHammer vulnerability that plagues modern DRAM (Dynamic Random Memory Access) chips, which are used in almost all computing systems as main memory. RowHammer is…

Performance and reliability are two prominent factors in the design of data storage systems. To achieve higher performance, recently storage system designers use DRAM-based buffers. The volatility of DRAM brings up the possibility of data…

Fault tolerance is increasingly being use to design Dependable Digital Systems (DDS), which refers to the capability of a system to keep performing its intended functions in existence of faults. DDS are typically used in Safety-critical…

Extended Asynchronous DRAM Refresh (eADR) proposed by Intel extends the persistence domain from the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) to CPU caches and offers the persistence guarantee. Due to allowing lazy persistence and decreasing the amounts of…

We present a study of crash-consistency bugs in persistent-memory (PM) file systems and analyze their implications for file-system design and testing crash consistency. We develop FlyTrap, a framework to test PM file systems for…

In past years, cloud storage systems saw an enormous rise in usage. However, despite their popularity and importance as underlying infrastructure for more complex cloud services, today's cloud storage systems do not account for compliance…

The aggressive scaling of technology may have helped to meet the growing demand for higher memory capacity and density, but has also made DRAM cells more prone to errors. Such a reality triggered a lot of interest in modeling DRAM behavior…

NVM is used as a new hierarchy in the storage system, due to its intermediate speed and capacity between DRAM, and its byte granularity. However, consistency problems emerge when we attempt to put DRAM, NVM, and disk together as an…

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are over-stressed to accelerate High-Performance Computing applications and are used to accelerate Deep Neural Networks in several domains where they have a life expectancy of many years. These conditions…

Federated Learning (FL) has become very popular since it enables clients to train a joint model collaboratively without sharing their private data. However, FL has been shown to be susceptible to backdoor and inference attacks. While in the…

Scalable nonvolatile memory DIMMs will finally be commercially available with the release of the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Module (or just "Optane DC PMM"). This new nonvolatile DIMM supports byte-granularity accesses with access…

With the meteoric growth of technology, individuals and organizations are widely adopting cloud services to mitigate the burdens of maintenance. Despite its scalability and ease of use, many users who own sensitive data refrain from fully…

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVRAM) supports persistent storage with low latency and high bandwidth. Complex data structures in it ought to be updated transactionally, so that they remain recoverable at all times. Traditional…

Persistent memory (PM) is an emerging class of storage technology that combines the benefits of DRAM and SSD. This characteristic inspires research on persistent objects in PM with fine-grained concurrency control. Among such objects,…

Persistent Memory (PM) introduces new opportunities for designing crash-consistent applications without the traditional storage overheads. However, ensuring crash consistency in PM demands intricate knowledge of CPU, cache, and memory…
