MIT researchers have shown that a component of modern computer processors that enables different areas of the chip to communicate with each other is susceptible to a side-channel attack.
“We aim to inspire the next generation of great computer science researchers who will invent, design and program intelligent computers that we can only dream of today,” says MIT professor Srini Devadas, who runs the computer science section of PRIMES that began in 2012.
Scientists from CSAIL came up with a way to better navigate the complexity of supporting computer program instructions. Their tool “VeGen” (pronounced “vegan”) automatically generates compiler plugins to effectively use more complicated instructions.
Join CSAIL Alliances for the launch of our newest research initiative, Future of Data, Trust & Privacy @CSAIL (FOD@CSAIL). Hear from CSAIL Director Professor Daniela Rus, Co-Faculty Directors Daniel Weitzner and Professor Srini Devadas, and founding members, as they share their goals for FOD@CSAIL.
