Abstract:Modern hardware platforms are increasingly complex and heterogeneous. System software uses a hodgepodge of different mechanisms and representations to express the memory topology of the target platform. Considerable maintenance effort is required to keep them in sync while often sharing is impossible due to hard-coded values. Incorrect platformspecific values in the hardware initialization sequence can lead to security critical and hard-to-find bugs because of misconfigured translation hardware, inaccessible d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
