Logic locking is an Intellectual Property (IP) protection technique that thwarts IP piracy,
hardware Trojans, reverse engineering, and IC overproduction. Researchers have taken …

As of 2013, the gold standard for assessing radiation-hardness assurance (RHA) for a
system, subsystem, or a component is accelerated radiation testing and/or pulsed laser …

Extreme complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology scaling is causing
significant concerns in the reliability of computer systems. Intermittent hardware errors are …

We investigate the correlation between low-level faults in the control logic of a modern
microprocessor and their instruction-level impact on the execution of typical workload. Such …

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are increasingly adopted in several domains where
reliability is fundamental, such as self-driving cars and autonomous systems. Unfortunately …

Fault injection is a widely used approach for experiment-based dependability evaluation.
Injecting faults to microarchitectural simulators is particularly appealing for researchers …

With continuously shrinking semiconductor structure sizes and lower supply voltages, the
per-device susceptibility to transient and permanent hardware faults is on the rise. A class of …

Increasing integration densities and high operating speeds are leading to subtle
manifestations of defects at the board level. Board-level functional test is therefore …

We present a method for selective hardening of control state elements against soft errors in
modern microprocessors. In order to effectively allocate resources, our method seeks to rank …

The trends of shrinking device geometries, lower voltages and higher frequencies in modern
processors are expected to increase the rate of intermittent faults. This requires the design of …
