CheriABI: enforcing valid pointer provenance and minimizing pointer privilege in the POSIX C run-time environment Davis et al., Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). ASPLOS’19. We answer this question affirmatively.

First, a bit of operating-system design context. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping? The answer is hardware interrupts. Timer interrupts and their raison d’être. That’s crazy!

If we compress objects instead of cache lines though, we can get to a 56% compression ratio (c). … to realize these insights, hardware needs to access data at object granularity and must have control over pointers between objects. .

You can also choose to look at event counts or at the time it takes to do operations. Why should you care?
