Uncovering The Size, Structure, And Operation Of DRAM Subarrays And Showing Experimental Results Supporting The Cause Of Rowhammer


A technical paper titled “X-ray: Discovering DRAM Internal Structure and Error Characteristics by Issuing Memory Commands” was published by researchers at Seoul National University and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Abstract: "The demand for accurate information about the internal structure and characteristics of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) has been on the rise. Recen... » read more

A Case for Transparent Reliability in DRAM Systems


New technical paper from ETH Zurich and TU Delft. Abstract "Today's systems have diverse needs that are difficult to address using one-size-fits-all commodity DRAM. Unfortunately, although system designers can theoretically adapt commodity DRAM chips to meet their particular design goals (e.g., by reducing access timings to improve performance, implementing system-level RowHammer mitigati... » read more
