Research Projects
-
Reimplementing Hyperloop - A research project as a research assistant at KAIST
Due to a copyright issue, the implementation of Hyperloop is not opened. To perform a research regarding distributed file system based on Hyperloop, we had no choice but to reimplement it by our own way.
During implementing Hyperloop, we studied how Infiniband and RoCE RDMA works, including a key idea of Hyperloop that leverages RDMA WAIT verbs. -
Heterogeneous Trusted Execution Environment - A research project as a graduate research assistant at KAIST
HIX extends the protection scope of hardware-based trusted execution environment (TEE) technology to heterogenoues computing devices, e.g. GPUs or FPGAs. Based on the insight that Intel SGX protects the data in address translation (TLB entries are not inserted into the TLB for unauthorized accesses) and modern high performance device access is done through memory-mapped I/O (MMIO), we extended the protection mechanism for accessing device access through MMIO.
Based on this SGX extension, only an authorized trusted process called the GPU enclave can access the GPU and trusted process use the GPU service through the GPU enclave via encrypted communication.
