PI(s): Heechul Yun

RESEARCHER(s): Michael Bechtel

HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED:

This project is developing OS and architecture techniques to defend against potential microarchitectural side-channel attacks on embedded computing platforms for safety-critical systems. The project covers the hardware problems of (1) resilient architectures (primary) and (2) security-metrics-driven evaluation, design, development and deployment.

PUBLIC ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

We presented our paper "Virtual Gang based Scheduling of Parallel Real-Time Tasks," at DATE 2021. The paper proposes new interference-aware group (virtual gang) scheduling methods that minimize utilization loss of our previously proposed gang scheduling approach while still preventing cache DoS attacks.
