Title
Security-aware Task Mapping Reducing Thermal Side Channel Leakage in CMPs
Abstract
Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) suffers from growing threats on hardware security in recent years, such as side channel attack, hardware trojan infection and chip clone, etc. In the paper, we propose a security-aware task mapping method to reduce the information leakage from CMP thermal side channel. First, we construct a mathematical function which can estimate the CMP security cost corresponding to a given mapping result. Then, we develop a greedy mapping algorithm which automatically allocates all threads of an application to a set of proper cores, such that the total security cost is optimized. Finally, we perform extensive experiments to evaluate our method. The experimental results show that our security-aware mapping effectively decreases the CMP side channel leakage. Compared to two existing task mapping methods, LS (a standard Linux scheduler) and NS (a thermal-aware mapping technique), our method reduces Side-channel Vulnerability Factor (SVF) by up to 19% and 7%, respectively. Moreover, our method also gains higher computational efficiency, with improvement in MIPS achieving up to 100% against NS and up to 33% against LS.
