The immense hardware complexity of modern computers, both mobile phones and
datacenter servers, is a seemingly endless source of bugs and vulnerabilities in system …

Operating system (OS) kernels achieve isolation between user-level processes using
hardware features such as multi-level page tables and translation lookaside buffers (TLBs) …

Address translation hardware is at the cornerstone of modern computer systems. It provides
a wide range of security-relevant features and abstractions such as memory partitioning …

Verification of any operating system is inevitably relative to a model of the underlying
hardware. Within the context of kernel verification, the underlying hardware model usually …

Modern Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) are networks of heterogeneous cores, intelligent devices,
and memory, connected through multiple configurable address translation and protection …

Modern hardware platforms are increasingly complex and heterogeneous. System software
uses a hodgepodge of different mechanisms and representations to express the memory …

Operating systems manage and configure a machine's physical resources such as memory
and translation hardware. This task is mission critical: the operating system must always …

Porting operating systems is expensive. Recent developments in formal specifications of
machine architectures and in program synthesis have made it possible to consider …

Operating system (OS) kernels achieve isolation between user-level processes using multi-
level page tables. The hardware-implemented translation lookaside buffer (TLB) caches …

Once upon a time each computing system had a single physical address space comprised
of an ordered set of physical addresses. These addresses were unique over the whole …
