Wit-HW: Bug Localization in Hardware Design Code via Witness Test Case Generation
Debugging hardware designs requires significant manual effort during hardware development. After engineers identify a bug-triggering test case in simulation-based hardware verification, they usually spend considerable time analyzing the execution trace to localize the bug. Although numerous automated hardware debugging techniques exist, they are not applicable to large designs and deep bugs. A primary reason for their limitations is that these techniques only utilize the information of a single…

»Cracking bcrypt: New-gen hardware speeds up password hacking«
Personally, I prefer Argon2id and yescript. I assume that these are more secure than the bcrypt, which is outdated in my opinion, but which is still running on servers very often today.

Cross-Layer Design of Vector-Symbolic Computing: Bridging Cognition and Brain-Inspired Hardware Acceleration
Vector Symbolic Architectures (VSAs) have been widely deployed in various cognitive applications due to their simple and efficient operations. The widespread adoption of VSAs has, in turn, spurred the development of numerous hardware solutions aimed at optimizing their performance. Despite these advancements, a comprehensive and unified discourse on the convergence of hardware and algorithms in the context of VSAs remains somewhat limited. The paper aims to bridge the gap between theoretical so…
