As a pedagogical exercise in ACL2, we formalize and prove the correctness of a write invalidate cache scheme. In our formalization, an arbitrary number of processors, each with its...
Targeting the operating system (OS) kernels, kernel rootkits pose a formidable threat to computer systems and their users. Recent efforts have made significant progress in blocki...

We present a new scheme for performing binary translation that produces code comparable to or better than existing binary translators with much less engineering effort. Instead of...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) seeks to improve the computation throughput of a processor core by sharing primary resources such as functional units, issue bandwidth, and cache...
