Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology published a technical paper titled “MIPSBLEED: Uncovering Microarchitectural Timing Leaks in Pervasive Embedded Processors.” Excerpt from abstract “This paper exposes how Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), a feature increasingly used to boost performance in these environments, creates powerful cross-core timing channels on MIPS-based platforms. We introduce MIPSBLEED, a systematic analysis and... » read more The post Timing Leaks In Embedded MIPS Processors (Rochester) appeared first on Semiconductor Engineering .
