There is also a Turk in the study deemed worthy of Intel's hardware security awards.

According to the statement made by TOBB University of Economics and Technology (TOBB ETÜ), Intel has been rewarding academic studies that contribute to hardware security since 2021.

The company gives the Test of Time Award to works published at least 10 years ago that have permanently impacted the field of hardware security. This year, the award was given to the work titled "Flipping Bits in Memory Without Accessing Them" dated 2014, which introduced RowHammer for the first time.

Yoongu Kim, Ross Daly, Jeremie Kim, Chris Fallin, Ji Hye Lee, Donghyuk Lee, Chris Wilkerson, Konrad Lai and Turkish computer scientist Prof. Dr. The study, of which Onur Mutlu was the first author, showed that line bumping occurred in more than 80 percent of the memory modules tested from the world's three largest memory manufacturers.

Intel described the study as groundbreaking research that revealed DRAM corruption errors, known as row bumping, for the first time.

The Current Publication Award, given to works published in the last two years, was awarded to Oğuzhan Canpolat, Giray Yağlıkçı, Geraldo F. Oliveira, Ataberk Olgun, Nisa Bostancı, İsmail Emir Yüksel, Haocong Luo, Prof. Dr. Oğuz Ergin and Prof. Dr. The paper titled "Chronus: Understanding and Securing the Cutting-Edge Industry Solutions to DRAM Read Disturbance", signed by Onur Mutlu, won.

Giray Yağlıkçı received the award on behalf of the authors at the ceremony for the study that examined and strengthened the newest protection developed by the industry against the row bumping vulnerability after 11 years. Seven of the nine authors of Chronus are Turkish, and five of them are Prof. at TOBB ETÜ. Dr. He grew up as a student of Oğuz Ergin.

Oğuzhan Canpolat, the lead author of Chronus, trained in the microprocessor design team of TOBB ETÜ Hurricane Microprocessors Laboratory, directed by Oğuz Ergin. Chronus was the subject of Canpolat's master's thesis at TOBB ETÜ under the supervision of Ergin.

5 of the 9 writers of Chronus grew up in the Hurricane. Hurricane teams won a total of 5 first places in the TEKNOFEST Chip Design Competition for 4 consecutive years.
