Conversation

(1/2) I remember a few weeks ago and during a conference, I asked Prof. Onur Mutlu about timing measurements in Intel. The question was why major OSs like Windows, Linux won’t forget about RDTSC & RDTSCP in User-mode (some exact timing features in user-mode will not work anymore)

(2/2) And you know, none of these side-channels like #meltdown and #spectre and other side-channels work anymore. He told me, there are other ways of measuring timing in User-mode other than RDTSC & RDTSCP but I still can’t find anything about ways other than RDTSC(P).😔
