Overview

Highly configurable HW PQC acceleration with RISC-V processor for full CPU offload, configurable as Subsystem or RoT, with SCA and FIA protection

Engineered for crypto and implementation agility, PQPlatform-TrustSys is optimized for PQ/T hybrid secure boot and features industry-leading protections against power, EM, and fault-injection attacks.

Design Space

PQPlatform-TrustSys scales from a fully autonomous cryptographic hardware subsystem, to a fully-updatable Root of Trust, integrating advanced PQC algorithms alongside traditional standards (ECC, RSA) – fully supporting PQ/T hybrid deployments and legacy compatibility during transition periods. The system includes high-performance accelerators for bulk encryption, hashing, and symmetric cryptography, with seamless support for third-party integration.

Announcing Arm AGI CPU: The silicon foundation for the agentic AI cloud era

For the first time in our more than 35-year history, Arm is delivering its own silicon products – extending the Arm Neoverse platform beyond IP and Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) to give customers greater choice in how they deploy Arm compute – from building custom silicon to integrating platform-level solutions or deploying Arm-designed processors.

Encarsia: Evaluating CPU Fuzzers via Automatic Bug Injection

Hardware fuzzing has recently gained momentum with many discovered bugs in open-source RISC-V CPU designs. Comparing the effectiveness of different hardware fuzzers, however, remains a challenge: each fuzzer optimizes for a different metric and is demonstrated on different CPU designs.

Pie: Pooling CPU Memory for LLM Inference

Pie maintains low computation latency, high throughput, and high elasticity. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that Pie achieves optimal swapping policy during cache warmup and effectively balances increased memory capacity with negligible impact on computation. With its extended capacity, Pie outperforms vLLM by up to 1.9X in throughput and 2X in latency. Additionally, Pie can reduce GPU memory usage by up to 1.67X while maintaining the same performance. Compared to FlexGen, an offline profiling-based swapping solution, Pie achieves magnitudes lower latency and 9.4X higher throughput.
