run the chips you get back in parallel Who's to say you're going to trigger the condition that causes the backdoor? Seems very unlikely. If you have ideas on this, though, I'd be interested. If you don't trust your compiler, why are you even bothering worrying about CPU backdoors when you've got a much easier attack vector open? You may not trust your compiler, and therefore do certain things in a VM where e.g. access to network is limited. See [1]. [1] http://qubes-os.org/Home.html http://qubes-os.org/Home.html
