HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED: Resilient Architectures

PUBLIC ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

In this quarter, we presented our work on Spectre attack mitigation technique called SpectreGuard at DAC'19, Cache DoS attacks and prevention techniques at RTAS'19, and a OS-level gang scheduler, which we call RT-Gang at RTAS'19.

In particular, we received an Outstanding Paper Award for our paper entitled "Denial-of-Service Attacks on Shared Cache in Multicore: Analysis and Prevention" which was presented at IEEE RTAS 2019 in April. (The award was announced in March.)
