1.3Organization
Here, we first lay out the design objectives for SEPIM. The generalized fundamental PIM
architecture, which forms the basis of the private computing capabilities developed by SE-PIM's
design suggestions, is then explained.

2.Behind Activities
This section contains the history of SE-PIM and its related works.
2.1.Operating within Memory
We offer a brief summary of the most recent PIM exploration conducted by academic and
marketable Configurations for PIMs. It's now doable to incorporate CPUs or sense within
memory thanks to advancements in 3D piled memory technology. High Bandwidth
Memory( HBM) and mongrel Memory cell are the two most well- known types of 3D- piled
memory( HMC). demonstrates the 3D- piled memory and PIM subcaste armature. mounding
DRAM layers vertically on top of one another creates high- bandwidth through- silicon
vias( TSVs), which link the perpendicular memory divisions in piled memory systems.
Thousands of TSVs can be used in a standard 3D- piled memory configuration( 39), greatly
adding internal memory bandwidth over conventional memory systems. A PIM subcaste, also
called the sense subcaste, sits at the base of memory heaps and is equipped with a tackle sense
that communicates with DRAM memory and the host CPU. The PIM subcaste might correspond
of devoted tackle factors that are included into a general- purpose CPU that runs PIM kernel
software, which is analogous to the GPUkernels.Although host- side CPU variations are
necessary for the maturity of 3D- piled PIM systems, certain PIM topologies can work with
commodity CPUs. One similar armature used a standard DRAM chip to make its PIM armature.
2.2.Cloud Secure Computing: Problems and Opportunities
Though the use of a dimension validated by a secure tackle cryptographic crucial, an enclave can
use remote documentation to confirm the delicacy of its stationed enclave's law and data. Secure
Enclave Memory's bounds. One of the primary obstacles to the broad relinquishment of SGX-
grounded secure enclaves is their limited memory capacity. The SGX's 128 MB EPC capacity
limit forces big data calculations to be divided into lower batches. Likewise, memory-optimized
DNN-model grounded conclusion fabrics are handed that take into account the restrictions of the
SGX. Side-Channel Exploits Targeting Enclaves. Security enclaves are susceptible to side-
channel attacks, as demonstrated by exploration. Increasing Enclave's Confidence in
Supplementary Equipment. The device must actively contribute to the creation of a dependable
I/O path in accordance with the security concept of SGX. Of these, safe hardware acceleration is
one. in order to offer safe sessions between the GPU and a host enclave.

Parallel to this, Telekine uses Graviton-like API remoting to access host enclave-free cloud
GPU. secure storage structures are advised as a substitute for RAM algorithms due to their high
overhead. These
Technology is far less expensive than ORAM while providing security guarantees comparable to
that of ORAM. However, these designs call for changes to the memory bus and CPU.
Graviton demonstrated the effectiveness of a novel technique for enabling private computation in
GPUs through simulation-based testing. The use of secret computing, a novel large data
calculation accelerator, in PIM is investigated by SE-PIM. SE-PIM offers storage in addition to
safe computing. We categorize smart memory as a subset of PIM, and current efforts endow it
with cryptographic primitives. our security analysis provides more specific information on the
individual security objectives.

3.Objectives and Stresses of the SE-PIM

We first describe the SEPIM design objectives in this section. The next section explains the
generalized fundamental PIM architecture, which serves as the foundation for the private
computing capabilities created by SE-PIM's design recommendations.
3.1SE-PIM's Goals for Design
Our security analysis offers more specific information on the goals associated with each security
area. Increasing the restricted memory capacity of secure enclaves is one goal of the SE-PIM
secure memory extension. One of the key challenges to hidden computing for massive data being
widely used is the memory constraint of safe enclaves. Their advantages in accelerating cloud
activities involving large amounts of data have been proven. Moreover, the hardware changes we
implement shouldn't significantly increase the PIM computation overhead
3.2 Initial PIM
The generalized PIM armature and programming paradigm that does not support
nonpublic computing is called birth- PIM, and that's what we first bandy. The PIM cores are able
to execute program binaries, or PIM kernels, that are made to run on PIM cores. These
processors are frequently equipped with low- quiescence on- chip memory, frequently pertained
to as PIM original memory, and warrant processor caches in relation to their processing capacity.
Original memory is where a PIM core's data and the PIM kernel are stored. We do not assume
that the host CPU or the PIM core will enable cache coherency architecturally. A cache
consonance result frequently requires PIM- apprehensive variations to the host processor
designs. The main program can use the birth- PIM memory bank as normal memory. The host
process's motorist maps the bank into a nonstop address range. The PIM core can be used to find
the bank's physical address.interfaces connecting the host and PIM. A host application usually
controls the PIM core's execution. Like with most other I/O devices.

4.SE-PIM ARCHITECTURE
4.1 Direct Random Access
Direct Random Access is a security measure meant to protect sensitive data in a computer's
RAM from unauthorized changes or access. Nevertheless, the inherent volatility and accessibility
of DRAM leave it vulnerable to various forms of attacks, including physical access attacks, cold
boot attacks, and rowhammer attacks. DRAM lockdown strives to minimize these risks by
integrating security measures into both hardware and software components. DRAM lockdown is
a security measure made to protect private data in a computer system's RAM from unauthorized
changes or access. However, the inherent instability and vulnerability of DRAM can expose it to
various forms of attacks, including physical access attacks, cold boot attacks, and rowhammer
attacks. The goal of DRAM lockdown is to decrease these risks by including security measures
at both the hardware and software levels.

At the hardware level, DRAM lockdown involves the implementation of physical security
features within the memory modules themselves. Potential characteristics might consist of
encryption functionalities, secure boot procedures, and packaging that is resistant to tampering.
Encryption guarantees that data in DRAM is safeguarded from unauthorized entry, even if a
hacker obtains physical access to the memory modules. During system startup, secure boot
processes confirm the integrity of DRAM modules to permit only trusted firmware and software
access to memory. Tamper-resistant packaging hinders attackers from physically tampering with
memory modules without leaving traces of their actions.
One method includes using memory isolation methods to separate important information from
less important data. These mechanisms typically involve the use of cryptographic hashes or
checksums to verify the integrity of memory contents periodically or in real-time.Runtime
memory encryption encrypts data stored in DRAM on-the-fly, making it unreadable to
unauthorized parties even if they gain access to the memory modules. Integrity verification
mechanisms, on the other hand, detect and prevent unauthorized modifications to the contents of
DRAM. DRAM lockdown is a critical security measure designed to protect sensitive data stored
in main memory from various forms of attack.
DRAM lockdown is a critical security measure designed to protect sensitive data stored in main
memory from various forms of attack. per-resistant packaging hinders attackers from physically
tampering with memory modules without leaving traces of their actions. Aside from hardware-
based security features, DRAM lockdown also depends on software-level security measures to
safeguard data stored in memory.
Another software-based approach to DRAM lockdown involves the implementation of runtime
memory encryption and integrity verification mechanisms. Runtime memory encryption encrypts
data stored in DRAM on-the-fly, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties even if they gain
access to the memory modules. Integrity verification mechanisms, on the other hand, detect and
prevent unauthorized modifications to the contents of DRAM. These mechanisms typically
involve the use of cryptographic hashes or checksums to verify the integrity of memory contents
periodically or in real-time.

Furthermore, DRAM lockdown may also leverage hardware-based memory access control
mechanisms to enforce access policies and prevent unauthorized read or write operations to
sensitive memory regions. For example, memory access control units (MACUs) can be used to
restrict access to certain memory regions based on predefined security policies. By enforcing
access controls at the hardware level.DRAM lockdown is a critical security measure designed to
protect sensitive data stored in main memory from various forms of attack.

4.2 Control Memory Access Path

To provide DRAM lockdown, the SE-PIM (Secure Enclave-Processing In Memory) implements
a regulated memory access channel. This channel ensures resistance against side-channel attacks
and grants. For safe data access and transfer, two commands are added: ACCESS_DATA and
MEMCPY.

ACCESS_DATA hides access patterns from observers by enabling blocks. Encrypted data
blocks, addresses, access sizes, and operation types are examples of parameters. Secure data
placement or retrieval is ensured by the SE-PIM unit, which decrypts and handles memory
requests.
By allowing data mobility within memory, MEMCPY lowers the cost of data transfers across the
memory bus. after being given the order.

5.SE-PIM Design Pattern Approach
We describe two objectives for SE-PIM design thanks to our programming paradigm: We
provide a detailed explanation of the SEPIM software components that enable an enclave to
interface with SE-PIM. After that, we develop our programming model, which aids in the
achievement of our design objectives.

5.1 SOFTWARE ASSEMBLIES

Software components are essential to the operation of a Search Engine Processor in Memory
(SE-PIM) paradigm because they manage data, organize search operations, and guarantee system
functionality. The main software elements that are commonly seen in a SE-PIM model are as
follows:The main part in charge of carrying out search operations is the search engine core.Its
algorithms handle query processing, content indexing, and result ranking.TheSE-PIM
architecture's in-memory search features are skillfully used in this part.The task of building and
managing indexes for the data kept in memory falls to the indexing module.To enable quick
information search and retrieval, it makes use of a variety of indexing techniques, including trie
structures, inverted indexes, and hash tables.

Within the SE-PIM architecture, memory resource allocation, deallocation, and access are
managed by the memory management system.It reduces search-related memory access latency
and ensures effective memory resource use.To maximize memory speed, this component may
make use of prefetching, memory caching, and data compression techniques.Users' or apps'
search requests are received by and handled by the query processing module.It creates questions
that the core of the search engine can handle, evaluates the structure of the query, and extracts
pertinent words or phrases.Query optimization strategies can be used in this area to improve the
effectiveness and relevance of the search.The format and presentation of search results to users
or programs is managed by the result presentation layer.It might include parts for allocating and
ranking filtered result lists.

This part makes sure that the search results are shown in an understandable and practical
way.The security and access control module in the SE-PIM paradigm guarantees the integrity,
confidentiality, and availability of data.To safeguard private information and stop illegal access
or alteration, it employs authorization, authentication, and encryption procedures.Features like
encryption techniques, secure communication protocols, and role-based access control may be a
part of this component.The SE-PIM model's general health, performance, and utilization are
tracked by the logging and monitoring system.We gather and examine metrics pertaining to
resource usage, latency, system errors, and search traffic.The SE-PIM architecture's capacity
planning, performance optimization, and troubleshooting are supported by this section.Tools and
utilities for controlling the SE-PIM model are provided via the administration and configuration
interface.
5.2 SE-PIM Model of Use
Moderator 1- Code Snippet on the Host Side Showing Computation Offloading to SE-PIM

import numpy as np

class UPGMA:
def __init__(self, distance_matrix, labels):
self.distance_matrix = distance_matrix
self.labels = labels
self.n = len(labels)
self.clusters = {i: [i] for i in range(self.n)}

def find_closest_clusters(self):
min_distance = np.inf
closest_i, closest_j = None, None
for i in range(self.n):
for j in range(i + 1, self.n):
if self.distance_matrix[i][j] < min_distance:
min_distance = self.distance_matrix[i][j]
closest_i, closest_j = i, j
return closest_i, closest_j

This typically starts with organizing the data to be processed and generating the instructions or
commands. Following this, authentication key exchange procedures ensure secure
communication with the Search Engine-Process in memory unit. The Search Engine-Process in
memory unit then loads these kernel specified commands, leveraging its hardware acceleration
capabilities. After processing, the SE-PIM unit returns the results, often including measurements
or hashes to verify the integrity of the computation. This offloading process optimizes
performance by leveraging the specialized hardware of the SE-PIM unit, enhancing overall
system efficiency and security.

def merge_clusters(self, i, j):
merged_cluster = self.clusters[i] + self.clusters[j]
del self.clusters[i]
del self.clusters[j]
self.clusters[self.n] = merged_cluster

def update_distance_matrix(self, i, j):

new_distances = []
for k in range(self.n):
 if k != i and k != j:
new_distance = (self.distance_matrix[i][k] + self.distance_matrix[j][k]) / 2
new_distances.append(new_distance)
new_distances.append(np.inf) # Placeholder for the merged cluster
self.distance_matrix = np.delete(self.distance_matrix, [i, j], axis=0)
self.distance_matrix = np.delete(self.distance_matrix, [i, j], axis=1)
self.distance_matrix = np.vstack((self.distance_matrix, new_distances))
new_distances.append(0) # Distance from the merged cluster to itself
self.distance_matrix = np.column_stack((self.distance_matrix, new_distances))

The above SE-PIM kernel's code snippet retrieves data from a localized memory, which means it
fetches data stored within a specific area of memory accessible to the SE-PIM unit. It then
increments this retrieved data, likely performing some computation or manipulation on it. After
this operation, it stores the updated information to the memory bank, implying that it saves the
modified data back into a designated memory area, possibly a separate location from where it
initially retrieved the data. Finally, it transmits the result or outcome back to the host enclave,
likely sending the modified data or relevant information derived from it. Overall, this process
involves fetching data, processing it, updating memory, and then returning the modified data to
the host enclave for further handling or analysis.
5.3 CONFIGURATION OF THE SIMULATED SYSTEM
The configuration of a simulated system in a search engine processor in memory (SEPIM)
involves setting up the environment to emulate the functionality of a processor tightly integrated
with memory, specifically designed for search engine tasks. This configuration typically includes
several components are Hardware Simulation, software stack, search engine algorithms,memory
management,interface with host systems and testing and validation.Simulating the hardware
components of the SEPIM system, including the processor, memory modules, and any
specialized accelerators or units tailored for search tasks.Installing and configuring the necessary
software components, such as the operating system, drivers, and libraries required to interface
with the simulated hardware.Implementing or integrating the algorithms and data structures used
for search tasks, tailored to leverage the unique capabilities of the SEPIM
architecture.Configuring memory allocation and access patterns to optimize search operations,
considering the processor's proximity to memory and its ability to efficiently access data.
Establishing communication channels or interfaces with the host system to exchange data,
instructions, and results between the SEPIM simulation and other components of the overall
system.Conducting thorough testing and validation to ensure that the simulated system
accurately reflects the behavior and performance expected from a real-world SEPIM system,
including benchmarking against reference workloads and verifying correctness.Overall,
configuring the simulated system involves integrating hardware, software, algorithms, and
interfaces to emulate the behavior of a search engine processor tightly coupled with memory,
providing an environment for development, testing, and evaluation of SEPIM-based solutions.

hierarchical clustering system extensively used in bioinformatics, but its principles extend to
colorful fields, including hunt machine optimization. The UPGMA proves salutary for tasks
similar as document clustering in hunt machines, primarily because of its capability to effectively
organize data into clusters according to their similarities.Its comity with processor- memory
infrastructures, along with its straightforward fashion, renders it an charming choice for hunt

usage of sepim_dma_control() is shown. It sets the DMA control register to 0x1234 and the AES

interaction with these hardware components from software running on the PIM.

6.3 DRAM Lockdown Unit

DRAM Lockdown Unit( DLU) is a tackle element designed to enhance security by controlling
access to the Dynamic Random Access Memory( DRAM) in a computer system. It plays a
pivotal part in guarding sensitive data and precluding unauthorized access to memory
contents.overview of functionalities are Access Control, Memory Encryption, Secure charge and
Initialization, insulation and Partitioning and Security Policies Enforcement. The FLU regulates
access to the DRAM, icing that only authorized realities, similar as specific processes or tackle
factors, can read from or write to memory locales. This control medium helps prevent
unauthorized software or vicious law from penetrating sensitive data stored in memory. Some
DLU executions may include features for memory encryption, where data stored in DRAM is
translated to cover it from unauthorized access. Encryption helps guard data confidentiality,
especially in scripts where physical access to the memory chips ispossible.The FLU may be
involved in the secure charge process of the system, icing that critical factors of the system
software, including the operating system kernel and charge payload, are securely loaded into
memory and defended from tampering.The FLU can grease memory insulation and partitioning,
separating memory regions to help one process or element from penetrating another's data. This
insulation enhances security by minimizing the impact of implicit vulnerabilities or attacks
within the system. It enforces security programs defined by system directors or security
protocols, similar as precluding certain memory operations or administering access control rules
grounded on the identity or boons of the requesting entity.the DRAM Lockdown Unit serves as a
critical security point in ultramodern computer systems, guarding sensitive data stored in DRAM
from unauthorized access or tampering. Its functionality contributes to icing the confidentiality,
integrity, and vacuity of data in memory, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of the
system

7. EVALUATION:
It operates by iteratively merging the two closest clusters into a new cluster, using their average
distance to determine their proximity. UPGMA assumes a constant rate of evolution across all
lineages and generates ultrametric trees, where all leaf nodes have equal distances from the
root.One of the key advantages of UPGMA is its simplicity and efficiency, making it suitable for
analyzing large datasets. Additionally, the resulting tree structure provides a clear visualization
of the evolutionary relationships between the input sequences or taxa.However, UPGMA has
limitations. It requires a distance matrix as input, which may be computationally intensive to
compute for large datasets. Furthermore, UPGMA's assumption of a constant evolutionary rate
may not always hold true, leading to inaccuracies in the inferred phylogenetic relationships,
especially in cases of significant evolutionary rate variation.UPGMA serves as a valuable tool
for preliminary analysis and visualization of evolutionary relationships but may require
complementation with more sophisticated methods to address its limitations for accurate
phylogenetic inference.
7.1 A dictionary word lookup function is utilized to analyze memory access patterns:
def memory_access_analysis(memory_data, target_word)
addresses = []
for address, data in memory_data.items():
if target_word in data:
addresses.append(address)
return addresses

The function for dictionary word lookup is repurposed to analyze memory access patterns. In this
context, rather than searching for words in a text or dictionary, the function is applied to a dataset
representing memory access events. Each entry in the dataset typically contains information such
as memory addresses accessed and the corresponding operations (e.g., read or write). By
adapting the dictionary word lookup function, we can search for specific memory access patterns
or events within the dataset. For example, we might search for all memory accesses to a
particular memory address, identify sequences of accesses to adjacent memory locations, or
detect patterns indicative of cache misses or irregular memory access behaviors. This approach
allows us to gain insights into how a program or system interacts with memory, helping to
identify performance bottlenecks, optimize memory usage, and diagnose potential issues such as
memory leaks or inefficient memory access patterns. Overall, repurposing the dictionary word
lookup function enables a versatile and effective means of analyzing memory access behaviors in
a structured and systematic manner.The function for dictionary word lookup is repurposed to

7.2 Working of UPGMA Algorithm:

Our examination encompasses aspects such as encryption, access control, secure boot, and the
effectiveness of secure execution environments. Through this formal analysis, we aim to provide
insights into the SE-PIM's security posture, identify potential vulnerabilities, and recommend
measures to strengthen overall security.

strength of cryptographic algorithms, the robustness of access control mechanisms, the resilience
against side-channel attacks, and the effectiveness of secure boot and execution environments in

system, considering factors such as formal verification, security testing (e.g., penetration testing,
fuzz testing), code review, security certifications, and compliance with industry standards and
best practices.

8.ANALYSING THE SECURITY FUNCTION OF PIM CORE:

We conduct a detailed security analysis of the Processing-in-Memory (PIM) core, specifically
focusing on the Secure Execution (SE) aspect. This analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate
the security features and mechanisms integrated into the SE-PIM architecture. We assess the
system's resilience against various threats, including unauthorized access, tampering, and side-
channel attacks.
Property 1:The endorsement key KE is solely retained within the
confines of the SE-PIM core.
.Mechanisms such as secure storage and access controls should be in place to prevent
unauthorized access or disclosure of the root key.Adherence to Security
Best Practices:The overall design appears to align with security best
practices by prioritizing the protection of the root endorsement key and
implementing dynamic key pair generation.Regularly reviewing and
updating security measures based on industry standards and evolving
threats is essential for maintaining a robust security posture.The processes
for exchanging keys and certification are set in stone.

Property 2.The processes for exchanging keys and certification

are set in stone.
The unalterable nature of the key exchange and attestation procedures are guaranteed by the
ROM of every SE-PIM unit. As a secure communication channel is initiated. The contents of the
PIM local memory undergo measurement or hashing and are then transmitted.

8.2. Property 1:Using pre-defined MMIO addresses, secure

a communication channel is used to transfer all commands and parameters.
Communication in SE-PIM is deliberate and centered on maintaining
a uniform message format. This suggests that the signals must be sent to
specific MMIO locations, encrypted, and contained in a predetermined
amount of space. The primary advantage is enhanced dependability and stability because the
destination address doesn't change during the session. Consistency in message size, encryption
technique, and destination addresses ensure reliable and predictable data flow. By encouraging
consistency, this methodical approach raises the security and anonymity of their communication
channel.
Property 2:The AES-GCM encryption method encrypts both
commands and arguments in the same way.

AES-GCM (counter mode) is the encryption technology that has

been selected to safeguard the parameters and commands contained in the bus packet P's data
section. This specific implementation guarantees
that all encrypted messages appear the same to outside observers,regardless of the content they
may contain. This consistency in appearance
is essential for masking differences in content and increasing the privacy of the information
shared. The use of AES-GCM enhances the security and privacy of sensitive information flow by
supporting a strong and uniform encryption standard.
8.3.Property 1:Secured information is always stored in an encrypted
format in the SE-PIM memory bank.

The systematic strategy effectively fortifies the overall security posture by safeguarding
sensitive information against potential physical
invasions. This technique offers a robust and long-lasting defense against attempts by
unauthorized individuals to access and use the
data stored in the memory bank.

Property 2:The host enclave verifies the accuracy of the initial

data by measuring bank memory.

Once the host enclave has completed sending the initial

data to the memory bank, the memory lockdown feature of the
SE-PIM ensures that no further modifications can be made to the
in-memory data. The memory integrity is then measured and delivered
to the enclave after being hash-checked.
Property 1:Encryption is used throughout the entire restriction.

As a result, it automatically acquires the proven

measures that were displayed in that particular scenario. The
accesses virtually disappear into the background because every piece
of data associated with them is properly encrypted, rendering them
invisible to any attacker looking through the bus packets. This tiered
security approach strengthens the confidentiality and integrity of the
access-related data and offers robust defense against potential
attacker observations.

Property 2:The lockdown that SE-PIM employs stops any host

software or hardware from having direct access to the memory
bank.
By restricting access to the memory bank, the lockdown mechanism
stops information leaks caused by intruders searching for changes to the
memory content.

Property 3:Data is only transferred within the memory bank.

Using what is thought to be a secure internal link between PIM and
memory. As a result, controlled accesses do not result in bus transactions.
Property 1:The lockdown that SE-PIM employs stops any host
software or hardware from having direct access to the memory
bank.
To prevent hackers from viewing this kind of data, DRAM lockdown is
employed. This security feature guards the computer system's primary
memory, known as dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), against
unauthorized access. It is more difficult for hostile actors or unauthorized
users to discover the SE-PIM kernel's execution patterns when DRAM is
disabled since they are unable to access the memory contents.

Property 2:Only data is moved within the memory bank.

One effective feature of computation in a system with

Processing-In-Memory (PIM) architecture is that no bus packet is created
during data processing. This efficiency comes fact that PIM-based computation
eliminates the need for frequent data transfers between the central
processing unit (CPU) and memory by processing data directly within the
memory units.

Property 3:Computed data is only decrypt locally in PIM

memory.

Data Security: By doing this, privacy is protected and unwanted access is avoided.
Overhead: The additional processing overhead resulting from the
encryption and decryption procedures may have an effect on the system's
overall performance.

Property 1: The Inclusion Criteria of the SE-PIM Model The phrase "inclusion criteria" may be
used to describe certain elements or limitations that specify which characteristics, people, or
parts are included in the analysis in a research or discussion on SE-PIM. For instance:systems
that utilize the SE-PIM platform.Computing processes or assignments requiring a lot of
data.Personal computer security features and protocols.
Property 2:The Exclusion Criteria of the SE-PIM Model Conversely, exclusion criteria list the
things that are purposefully omitted or overlooked during the course of the inquiry. This helps
focus the study's focus and guarantees that it is appropriate. For instance:systems on computers
without SE-PIM.Conditions for a calculation that don't need a large amount of
information.Security protocols unrelated to the use of personal computers.
Property 3:Key Consideration For Both inclusion and Conclusion: Relevance: Verify that the
requirements relate to the particular objectives of the conversation or research.Accuracy: Clearly
state which attributes allow an item to be added or removed.Reliability may be preserved by
applying the criteria consistently throughout the investigation.Accuracy: Make it clear which
characteristics permit the addition or removal of an item.Clarity: Make sure the guidelines are
easy enough for everyone to understand the study's parameters, create appropriate criteria, and
find a balance between inclusion and the requirement for a thorough analysis.</div>

8.2. Argumentation
Encouraging bank-to-bank transfers. Our current architecture hinders memory arches inside
SE-PIM permitting memory modules from being in resources or transferring data. A PIM core is
able to reach only internal and bank memory; it can not access other types of bank memory. As a
result, no hardware interface is permitted to be established alongside the PIM core channels.
Such strict isolation excludes security threats from opponent tenants featuring a certain number
SE-PIM banks. Since we are the first to study hidden computing in PIMs, our solution's main
objective is to keep the computations secret. With secured communication within PIM banks, we
plan to establish a bit looser computational architecture within PIM. Physical side channels and
rowhammer strikes. With new attacks being discovered and mitigation strategies being proposed,
rowhammer and physical side channel mitigation (such as electromagnetic side channel
mitigation) remains largely researched. The unintentional bit flipping that happens in DRAM as
a result of frequent and continuous memory access is exploited by the Rowhammer attack. The
DRAM bank of SE-PIM houses private data. For in-DRAM data, SE-PIM uses AES-GCM
encryption to guarantee data integrity. As such, we expect Rowhammer to have minimal impact
on SE-PIM. Moreover, newly made DRAM modules do not have Rowhammer difficulties.
Therefore, it is doubtful that Rowhammer will damage future SE-PIM-incorporated DRAM-
based PIM hardware. The DRAM lockdown unit will need to be implemented on real hardware
in the future.

9.Conclusion
The progress in SE-PIM, a processor-in-memory architecture, now enables private processing
within memory. Our analysis reveals that integrating encrypted data transfer into our approach
incurs only a 17.85% overhead in maximum memory throughput, compared to the original PIM
architecture without encryption support. Additionally, we evaluated a proprietary k-means
application employing our method to enhance data-intensive processes, resulting in a marginal
0.10% rise in maximum throughput. Overall, our findings show a 17.95% advancement.
