How does POP 2008 compare to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time?

To me that sounds way too costly (especially if they need to be an x86 licensee). And managing a heterogenous platform (HW/FW/OS) is damn hard without even considering the user experience standards that Apple are proud of. I think

It's the job of the OS to make sure one process can't read the memory of another process. What you're saying is that should now be the responsibility of the JavaScript engine as well as the OS.

In the case of ARM they seem to have announced Neural Processing Units (NPUs), which looks more like a mass market TPU.

It does exist in single user environments. What about a desktop/phone that runs untrusted code? e.g. every browser that supports JavaScript.

ARM has design centers in the USA so this doesn’t surprise me.

"Why not" turns out to have quite an expensive answer (both in silicon and runtime latency). If you just cipher using a standard algorithm like AES then performance isn't great, but adding integrity protection to it further s

A TPM is user owned by design. It is opt-in, you can delete the contents and create your own keys, password protect access etc.

"Redox is a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications." Seems focused on using Rust, which SEL4 isn't written in.

I’m not convinced it would be a world first. Certainly not for nation states :) but you should definitely check out the amazing work by Chris Tarnovsky on YouTube. The level of detail he goes into when decamping the chip... and the way he e

The reference you're looking for is likely to be the ARMv8-A Architecture Reference Manual. For example, it mentions in multiple places "if AARCH32 is not implemented".

Yes, the standard firmware interface. Those working on the Itanium platform (Intel and presumably HP) wanted to have a boot solution that didn't have the technical shortcomings of existing BIOS designs. That drove an initiative to crea

That EULA is specifically for the ARM RealView compilation tools, which are proprietary AFAIK. You don't need any EULA to use any of Mbed's stuff, it's all Apache licensed and can use any compiler.

by als0 8y ago
One of the really nice outcomes of this approach is that it allows you to use different optimisation levels. Other approaches try to bypass the compiler by verifying the generated binary against the semantics of the source code (treating th
