Openings

Looking for Masters/Ph.D. students to work on computer architecture security (especially Cache/DRAM security), memory and storage hierarchy for emerging applications, and OS-architecture interaction.

If you want to join CARS for your masters/Ph.D. thesis then please see this NOTE for details and contact me through an email/linkedin-message/tweet.

If you are looking for internships then apply here.

August 2018: Research grant for research on "secure memory systems" from SRC . Thanks SRC.
July 2018: Paper on Cache Compression in PACT '18.
Summer School on Computer Architecture CASS'18.
April 2018: DFCM++ is through CVP-1 to be held with ISCA '18.
