A team of researchers at Aarhus University aims to develop an optical sensor using terahertz light to decode the direction of tiny magnetic 'tornadoes' called skyrmions. Skyrmions offer a promising candidate for future bits in computer technology, requiring less power and generating less heat than current methods.
Researchers from North Carolina State University developed a software toolkit to test Apple device security, identifying a previously unknown vulnerability called iTimed. The team used this toolkit to reverse-engineer key components of Apple hardware and demonstrated the vulnerability's potential impact.
GraphIt, a state-of-the-art graph programming language, has been extended to run on graphics processing units (GPUs), enabling faster graph analysis. This advance accelerates graph algorithms, particularly those that benefit from parallelism, such as recommendation algorithms and internet search functions.
Xiaochen Guo, a Lehigh University professor, aims to improve data movement efficiency by revamping memory systems. Her goal is to proactively create and redefine locality in hardware, unlocking fundamental improvements for machine learning applications.
Researchers from UConn, University of Maryland, and Rice University will analyze and upgrade security protections for nanoscale computer hardware with a $7.5 million grant. The project aims to elevate security as a fundamental design parameter for next-generation nanoscale devices.
