Ransomware, a fearsome and an evolving cybersecurity threat, continues to inflict severe consequences on individuals and organizations worldwide. Traditional detection methods, reliant on static signatures and application behavioral patterns, are ...

There have been drastic changes in the storage device landscape recently. At the center of the diverse storage landscape lies the NVMe interface, which allows high-performance and flexible communication models required by these next-generation device ...

The rapid transition to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic left many instructors needing to redesign their course projects as students no longer had access to physical hardware. This paper describes the development of an open-source ...

We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion: Given a planar graph G (with edge weights) and a subset of k terminal vertices, the goal is to construct an ε-emulator, which is a small planar graph G′ that ...

"WebLinux" is a web app tool providing a standard Linux OS and an IDE in the browser, including a terminal, a code editor and a file browser. It provides a client-side and offline Linux OS environment based on a Javascript emulated processor. By ...

The functionality of many mobile applications is dependent on various contextual, external factors. Depending on unforeseen scenarios, mobile apps can even malfunction or crash. In this paper, we have introduced MobiCoMonkey - automated tool that allows ...

In the "Big Data" era, fast lookup of keys in a key/value store is a ubiquitous operation. We have designed a near memory accelerator combining simple hardware building blocks to accelerate lookup in a hash table based key/value store. We report on the ...

Jumping has been an important mechanic since its introduction in Donkey Kong. It has taken a variety of forms and shown up in numerous games, with each jump having a different feel. In this paper, we use a modified Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) ...

Storage class memory offers the prospect of large capacity persistent memory with DRAM-like access latency. In this work, we evaluate the performance of a small set of benchmarks using SCM as main memory. We use an FPGA emulator to model a range of ...

This paper presents a runtime reconfigurable interface for Hardware-Software Co-Simulations. We present our research project for autonomously configuring smart home networks, in which our hardware-software co-simulation is used to simulate network ...

Software-Defined Wireless Networking (SDWN) is being considered an appealing paradigm to design and operate wireless networks through higher-level abstractions and programmatic interfaces such as the OpenFlow protocol. Identified benefits include cost ...

This paper reviews the task of trusted executable environment construction. It analyses current solutions, highlights their disadvantages. Requirements for trusted executable environment are provided. The article also presents an approach of hardware ...

Emulator-based dynamic analysis has been widely deployed in Android application stores. While it has been proven effective in vetting applications on a large scale, it can be detected and evaded by recent Android malware strains that carry detection ...

With the growing adoption of Software Defined Networking (SDN) technology, there is a compelling need for an SDN emulator that can facilitate experimenting with new SDN solutions. Unfortunately, Mininet, the de facto standard emulator for software ...

Increasing use of telephone devices has made the Interactive Voice Response (IVR), a technology for accessing information over phone, popular among the commercial organizations. IVR systems are used for critical applications like flight reservation, ...

Photovoltaic (PV) cells are promising endurable renewable power sources that do not include mechanical components, which are subject to wear and tear. However, actual development of a solar-powered system requires elaborated design processes to find the ...

We present MARSS, an open source, fast, full system simulation tool built on QEMU to support cycle-accurate simulation of superscalar homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore x86 processors. MARSS includes detailed models of coherent caches, ...

The testing of applications for mobile computing devices is cumbersome due to the bounded computational resources that these devices have and diversity in mobile environments. There are many different types of emulators that have been proposed and used ...

We present a FPGA-synthesizable version of the Intel Nehalem processor core, synthesized, partitioned and mapped to a multi-FPGA emulation system consisting of Xilinx Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 FPGAs. To our knowledge, this is the first time a modern state-...

Functional full-system simulators are powerful and versatile research tools for accelerating architectural exploration and advanced software development. Their main shortcoming is limited throughput when simulating large multiprocessor systems with ...
