But how can you verify that the processor's own software, which ultimately runs the application, has not been compromised?

How can you have a secure enclave without hardware attestation? Processor root-key is the source for all.

There are also many high-performance Chinese implementations that are open-source (e.g., XuanTie C910, XiangShan, etc.). While achieving an open-core design comparable to Zen 5 is unlikely in the near term, a sustained open-source collabora

No: RISC is open ARM is closed. I suspect that many projects—such as BOOM—have stalled as a consequence of this situation. If it continues, the long-term impact will be highly detrimental for everyone involved, including stakeholders in Wes

This is going to end badly — and soon. It’s ironic that catastrophic forgetting (i.e., the inability to perform continuous learning) and hallucinations (i.e., the failure to recognize when a prediction is unfounded) won’t be the causes of t

Konrad had the ideas; others received the glory. History has been unfair to him—he was simply on the wrong side of it.

As far as I know, pruning is related to age. At birth, we have a massive number of silent synapses. As we grow older, those that remain unused (i.e., inactive) tend to disappear. This process involves a delicate mechanism, including compone

The issue is that no one fully understands why synaptic pruning occurs in biology. Large language models have no direct connection to biological systems, and pruning in LLMs is no exception.

The usefulness of AST is not limited to biological systems. A hypothetical conscious electronic system might also need AST to: (1) stabilize internal states more quickly during learning, (2) respond more quickly to input stimuli, (3) use in

Secure enclaves can solve the problem once for all. I don't understand why is not applied (given the support in current hardware).

Proof of that this is wrong, is that our brains require <20W of power. Non-brute force AI will be very efficient. Simple operations (int add/cmp) and no float matrix multiplications and keep moving around the same data all the time

My comment was not about the ISA implementation or specification, It's about the TCB (trusted compute base), which in Apple (like intel and AMD) is closed. In RiscV is open. I would recommend you to educate yourself on any topic

by xpuente 2y ago
It has to with the secure processor. Although you seems to ignore what is the TCB.

by xpuente 2y ago
Security through obscurity is really a bad idea, and Apple is no exception. In the long run, this will likely drive the adoption of RiscV as a better alternative.

I wonder what will happen if someone figures out that fused FP mult add is no longer needed (e.g. just count spikes and add subtract permanence). This could be a big problem for the guys with all their eggs in one basket (like NVIDIA).

We need RISCV hardware with Ztso extension to shine here. Enforcing Total store ordering (TSO) over a release consistency (RC) memory model is otherwise a pain. I don't know if Dynarec is tackling this problem (or just focusing emulati

The first hypothesis seems to be false. We have no idea how the brain works or how conscience arises (and what it is). So how can we reproduce or surpass it with a pattern recognition machine like a DL system? Just because the brain uses pa

I wonder why they don't start to use secure enclaves to fix this cheating debacle? This might solve the problem for good. Between the cheaters and the companies trying to stem the tide, is destroying FPS online gaming. I guess intel SG

How many uOps is that instruction in x86_64? Note that while the performance effect of L1I cache misses is negligible, the complex x86-64 decoder may not be. Some SPECpu2017 have front-end problems due to the x86-64 decoder.
