- saganus 9y agoYeah, I saw the PoC in the Spectre paper, but I was wondering if a JVM language could meet those reqs. I have absolutely no idea if using the JVM would for example, mess with the required precision since I'm guessing one would need to use JNI/JNA to get the timing and that could maybe not be suitable?
- peoplewindow 9y agoJava provides access to high resolution timers without JNI and optimises them very well.
