Demystifying DRAM Read Disturbance: RowHammer and RowPress Phenomena

DRAM read disturbance, like RowHammer and RowPress, is a critical robustness issue where accessing DRAM can cause unintended bitflips in other unaccessed DRAM locations. DRAM read disturbance bitflips significantly impact the safe, secure, and reliable operation of DRAM-based computing systems. Many prior works experimentally characterize these bitflips and propose mitigations based on empirical results. Other device-level works study their underlying physical mechanisms, but these mechanisms do not fully explain all major empirical observations. Our goal is to bridge the gap between experimental…

The End of an Era

We knew this day would come. Some of us have known for decades, have been writing and pontificating about this since Ken Jennings lost at Jeopardy and Kasparov lost at chess.
