Improving software security via runtime instruction-level taint checking
Current taint checking architectures monitor tainted data usage mainly with control transfer instructions. An alarm is raised once the program counter becomes tainted. However, su...

Zero-cycle loads: microarchitecture support for reducing load latency
Untolerated load instruction latencies often have a significant impact on overall program performance. As one means of mitigating this effect, we present an aggressive hardware-b...
