DOI: 10.1109/tc.2024.3521225
Abstract: In modern processors, the Retire Control Unit (RCU) is responsible for receiving the µops decoded from the frontend and retiring the completed µops in order through the retirement. Consequently, the retirement may stall differently depending… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tvlsi.2022.3171810
Abstract: The continuous quest for performance pushed processors to incorporate elements such as multiple cores, caches, acceleration units, or speculative execution that make systems very complex. On the other hand, these features often expose unexpected vulnerabilities… read more here.
