Tilera Corp, founded by CSAIL's Prof. Anant Agarwal, announced that it has begun to ship a 64-core processor. This processor features 64 identical processor cores (tiles). Each tile can independently run a full operating system, or multiple tiles taken together can run a multi-processing operating system like SMP Linux. Anant Agarwal created the first mesh-based multicore architecture as part of the Raw research project.
New “Oreo” method from MIT CSAIL researchers removes footprints that reveal where code is stored before a hacker can see them.
CSAIL welcomes six new faculty members to MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)!The new faculty include Adam Belay, Stefanie Mueller, Max Shulakar, David Sontag, Ryan Williams and Virginia Vassilev Williams.Adam Belay will join as an assistant professor in July 2017.
