Computers may seem stable, but the universe constantly interferes with their most basic operations. Cosmic rays, charged particles, and background radiation can flip bits, corrupt memory, or crash ...

This contribution adds a bit manipulation algorithm that counts the total number of set bits (1s) in binary representation of all numbers from 1 to N efficiently — much faster than naive iteration.

Those of us ancient enough to remember the time, or even having grown up during the heyday of the 8-bit home computer, may recall the pain of trying to make your latest creation work on another brand ...

A team of academics from ETH Zürich and Google has discovered a new variant of a RowHammer attack targeting Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) memory chips from South Korean semiconductor vendor SK Hynix. The ...

Academic researchers have devised a new variant of Rowhammer attacks that bypass the latest protection mechanisms on DDR5 memory chips from SK Hynix. A Rowhammer attack works by repeatedly accessing ...

What to do: Professional Nvidia graphics card users concerned about security should strongly consider enabling error-correcting code if it isn't engaged by default. The GPU manufacturer advises that ...

Nvidia has issued a security reminder to application developers, computer manufacturers, and IT leaders that modern memory chips in graphic processors are potentially susceptible to so-called ...

Nvidia is recommending a mitigation for customers of one of its GPU product lines that will degrade performance by up to 10 percent in a bid to protect users from exploits that could let hackers ...
