8192-core CPU design kills context switches and speculation-based vulns by architecture
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-23
bzogrammer says the 8192-core CPU being built at uscompco includes strong sandboxing and security by design: a short pipeline plus small changes makes branch prediction unnecessary, eliminating entire classes of speculative-execution vulnerabilities; with 8k cores each program gets its own core, removing shared resources from context switches; most on-chip traffic is packet-based, enabling per-packet sandboxing and isolation.
