We introduce novel timing-based techniques leveraging DRAM refresh intervals and consecutive access latencies to infer component-specific functions. Based on this, we present Sudoku, the first software-based tool to automatically decompose full DRAM address mappings into channel, rank, bank group, and bank functions while identifying row and column bits. We validate Sudoku's effectiveness, successfully decomposing mappings on recent Intel and AMD processors.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.15918v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.15918v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"sudoku-decomposing-dram-address-mapping-into","repo_url":"https://github.com/scale-snu/sudoku","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
