Hardware is the new softwareAndrew Baumann, Microsoft ResearchAbstract Moore’s Law may be slowing, but, perhaps as a result, other measures of processor complexity are only acceler- ating. In recent years, Intel’s architects have turned to an alphabet soup of instruction set extensions such as MPX, SGX, MPK, and CET as a way to sell CPUs through new security features. Unlike prior extensions, which mostly focused on accelerating user-mode data processing, these new features exhibit complex inter
