University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science In 2018, industry and academic researchers revealed a potentially devastating hardware flaw that made computers and other devices worldwide vulnerable to attack. Researchers named the vulnerability Spectre because the flaw was built into modern computer processors that get their speed from a technique called “speculative execution,” in which the processor predicts instructions it might end up executing and preps by following t...

"Unhackable" MORPHEUS Chip Passes Its First Public Test, DARPAs FETT Bug Bounty, Unhacked Calling something "unhackable" doesnt usually end well, but the University of Michigans MORPHEUS chip may prove to be just that. an hour ago • Security The University of Michigans MORPHEUS chip, the testbed for a new approach to creating a computing device its creators claim is "unhackable," has completed its first real world test: passing a DARPA bug bounty challenge unscathed. Publicly unveiled two ...

 E-Mail Contemporary robots can move quickly. "The motors are fast, and theyre powerful," says Sabrina Neuman. Yet in complex situations, like interactions with people, robots often dont move quickly. "The hang up is whats going on in the robots head," she adds. Perceiving stimuli and calculating a response takes a "boatload of computation," which limits reaction time, says Neuman, who recently graduated with a PhD from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). ...

Designing customized “brains” for robots January 21, 2021MIT A new system devises hardware architectures to hasten robots’ response time.
