Energy proportionality in near-threshold computing servers and cloud data centers: Consolidating or Not?

2018

Cloud Computing aims to efficiently tackle the increasing demand of computing resources, and its popularity has led to a dramatic increase in the number of computing servers and data centers worldwide. However, as effect of …

Prevention of Microarchitectural Covert Channels on an Open-Source 64-bit RISC-V Core

2020 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Covert channels enable information leakage across security boundaries of the operating system. Microarchitectural covert channels exploit changes in execution timing resulting from competing access to limited hardware resources. We use the recent experimental support for …

Improving Data-Scarce Image Classification Through Multimodal Synthetic Data Pretraining

2023

Deep Learning algorithms and models greatly benefit from the release of large-scale datasets, also including synthetically generated data, when real-life data is scarce. Multimodal datasets feature more descriptive environmental information than single-sensor ones, but they …
