Vulnerability Assessment of the Rowhammer Attack Using Machine Learning and the gem5 Simulator - Work in Progress

Modern computer memories have been shown to have reliability issues. The main memory is the target of a security attack called Rowhammer, which causes bit flips in adjacent victim cells of aggressor rows. Multiple mitigation techniques have been proposed to counter this issue, but they all come at a non-negligible cost of performance and/or silicon surface. Some techniques rely on a detection mechanism using row access counters to trigger automatic defenses.
