National Semiconductor has developed a high-speed alternative to PC buses to hook up multimedia peripherals to the processor in Internet access devices. The company's approach builds on the idea of ...

Every single high-end CPU architecture today uses out-of-order execution. And speculative execution, while implemented differently from company to company, is used by each of them.

However, that won’t mean getting rid of speculative execution, said Mark Hill, professor of computer science at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The industry needs to consider what he calls ...

First disclosed in January 2018, the Meltdown and Spectre attacks have opened the floodgates, leading to extensive research into the speculative execution hardware found in modern processors, and ...

Considering that speculative execution vulnerabilities continue to be found, and that their severity has grown, being able to detect such an attack could be an important tool to fight such an event.

iLeakage is the first demonstration of a speculative execution attack against Apple Silicon CPUs and the Safari browser. It can be used to retrieve with "near perfect accuracy" data from Safari ...

In speculative execution, a CPU frequently follows a branch of commands in code before a program asks it to, or guesses at the data the program is requesting, in order to get a head start.

Spectre and Meltdown are the names given to a trio of variations on a vulnerability that affects nearly every computer chip manufactured in the last 20 years. The flaws are so fundamental and ...

AMD thinks that its processors are not impacted by the new SPOILER vulnerability that uses speculative execution to improve the efficiency of memory and cache attacks such as Rowhammer.

Google and Microsoft discovered a new CPU flaw related to Meltdown and Spectre. Take action, but don't panic too much about Speculative Store Bypass.
