About the software and large-scale systems group and our work

The Software and Large-Scale Systems Research works on distributed systems, edge computing, compute-in-memory, and computer-in-network among other subjects. We are interested in High Performance Computing, Computational Engineering, and High-Performance Data Analytics.

Through our work we try to address three main questions: How do we balance hardware diversity with the software ecosystem? How do we evolve ARM technology to be relevant at large-scale (scale-up as well as scale-out)? What is the necessary infrastructure for evaluating large scale systems (in the absence of hardware)?

Our research is currently focussed on two threads. One is developing IoT Gateway Reference Design and Proof of concept deployments around various edge use cases (Cities, Agriculture, Rural, Telco). The second one is exploring edge computing, networking, and data centre scale cluster solutions.

About our group and our work

The Arm Research Security Group works to "develop technology worthy of the trust that we place in it." We are not a "red team" identifying and publishing vulnerabilities in systems or suggesting point-fixes, but rather we seek to develop techniques and tools that eliminate large classes of vulnerabilities outright. To do this, we have projects broadly focussed on three research areas:

Security. How can we implement systems that remain secure even in the face of well-organised and extraordinarily imaginative adversaries? In this area we are looking at, for example, designing "responsive hardware" that can spot and react to early signs of security threats. We are also looking into how an emerging set of post-quantum ciphers can be efficiently implemented on power-constrained Arm microcontrollers.

Correctness. Can hardware and software systems be designed so that they are correct by construction? And what does "correct" even mean? We are currently trying to establish provable security properties for future extensions of the Arm architecture, and we recently started a collaboration with academics who are applying mathematical techniques to spot Spectre-like bugs in hardware designs.

Privacy. How can emerging technologies increase the privacy of computations and data? We are investigating how trusted hardware and remote attestation protocols can be used to implement efficient secure-multiparty computations. We are collaborating with academic partners around the design and implementation of hardware acceleration for homomorphic encryption. Other ongoing projects look at using the high assurance seL4 Operating System to ensure security and privacy on untrustworthy Edge devices.
