Cores that don’t count

简介

This academic paper explains Google’s efforts toward identifying “mercurial” CPU coores — cores that make erroneous computations.

This one blew my mind:

A deterministic AES mis-computation, which was “selfinverting”: encrypting and decrypting on the same core yielded the identity function, but decryption elsewhere yielded gibberish.
