Stanford Seminar - Exploiting modern microarchitectures: Meltdown, Spectre, & other hardware attacks

[@ShortGiant1]

An extremely interesting talk, thank you.

4:04 "one thing that maddens me, about this industry, is that we've got into an "us vs them", over the past few decades. so you're a software guy/girl or you're a hardware guy/girl and never the two shall meet". this mentality is even stronger between languages or specific libraries. as if a poorly implemented feature in a low level language would perform better than an optimized feature in a high level one. it is just childish. luckly there are lots of books and talks from people that worked around the 60's and the 90's that really pulls you from this mentality

I gave an updated version of this talk at FOSDEM 2018 that included feedback on the slides: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJymdYN5nM-fgJY

Wow. Thank you.

Initial hour of talk is a refresher of computer architecture, meltdown/spectre explanation starts at 57:30

That dude has to cough super loud everytime someone opens the microphone. Everytime.

I have the feeling that many of this century's most important advances in computer science will involve the discovery of inherent flaws in computer architectures.
