Advancements in Memory Security and Optimization

The field of memory security and optimization is rapidly evolving, with a focus on developing innovative solutions to combat emerging threats and improve system performance. Recent research has explored new techniques for detecting and preventing attacks, such as rowhammer attacks, and optimizing memory systems for better efficiency. Additionally, there is a growing interest in developing novel methods for generating true random numbers and improving memory tiering. Noteworthy papers in this area include:

  • $ ho$Hammer, which presents a new Rowhammer framework that overcomes challenges in attacking new architectures.
  • Tidying Up the Address Space, which introduces address-space engineering to improve memory efficiency.
  • In-DRAM True Random Number Generation Using Simultaneous Multiple-Row Activation, which demonstrates a high-throughput and low-latency true random number generation method in commercial DRAM chips.
