arXiv:2610.12795v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hardware malware detectors (HMDs) classify programs as benign or malicious based on hardware performance counter (HPC) data. Previous studies have shown that ensemble classifiers outperform other classifiers on detection metrics. However, the area, power, and timing costs of HMDs remain open questions.
