Lately I've been looking into having CPUs run untrusted machine code (e.g. Google's Native Client). Hope you don't mind a completely off-topic question: is it anywhere on your team's radar to have provisions for that? So far it's been essentially chance whether the architecture has useful features to make this happen (e.g. x86 segment register abuse).
- willvarfar 12y agoIt's very much on our radar. The team have a lot of experience with capability systems, and although the Mill is not a capability based architecture, it is much finer grained than mainstream e.g. x86.
