• Anomalous behavior detection through phase profiling 

      Moreira, Francis Birck (2020) [Tese]
      One of the main challenges for security systems is the detection of general vulnerability exploitation, especially valid control flow exploitation. Detection and mitigation of specific and regular exploitation of memory ...
    • Profiling and reducing micro-architecture bottlenecks at the hardware level 

      Moreira, Francis Birck (2014) [Dissertação]
      Most mechanisms in current superscalar processors use instruction granularity information for speculation, such as branch predictors or prefetchers. However, many of these characteristics can be obtained at the basic block ...
