RowPress: Read-Disturb Phenomenon In DDR4 DRAM Chips


A technical paper titled "RowPress: Amplifying Read Disturbance in Modern DRAM Chips" was published by researchers at ETH Zürich. Abstract: "Memory isolation is critical for system reliability, security, and safety. Unfortunately, read disturbance can break memory isolation in modern DRAM chips. For example, RowHammer is a well-studied read-disturb phenomenon where repeatedly opening and clo... » read more
