A Novel Approach To Mitigating RowHammer Attacks And Improving Server Memory System Reliability


A technical paper titled “RAMPART: RowHammer Mitigation and Repair for Server Memory Systems” was published by researchers at Rambus. Abstract: "RowHammer attacks are a growing security and reliability concern for DRAMs and computer systems as they can induce many bit errors that overwhelm error detection and correction capabilities. System-level solutions are needed as process technology... » read more

Targeting Redundancy In ICs


Technology developed for one purpose is often applicable to other areas, but organizational silos can get in the way of capitalizing on it until there is a clear cost advantage. Consider memory. All memories are fabricated with spare rows and columns that are swapped in when a device fails manufacturing test. "This is a common method to increase the yield of a device, based on how much memor... » read more
