Until now, CPU designers and computer scientists have assumed Vegas rules at the hardware level: what happens in speculation stays in speculation. Yet in the wake of the Spectre and Meltdown attacks, it has become clear a new, massive class of security vulnerabilities awaits us at the microarchitectural level because this assumption is simply false. Light years above, as computer scientists we have assumed that virtualization through emulation made the worlds below the Turing machine undetectable, hidden behind a mathematically perfect mirror. This talk will explore how we have now learned to see through that mirror, into the very bizarre and alien world of microarchitectures, illuminating a tiny world of astounding complexity.
