When it comes to hardware support to mitigate software security issues, there is a significant gap between what is available in products today and known solutions. Acceleration—Adding hardware support to reduce the runtime overheads of security features. Also known as a “correct by construction” approach to security.

The focus of most published research in architecture is on applications implemented in high-performance, “ close-to-the-metal” languages essentially developed before computers got fast. To be clear, these languages were not designed to be fast or space-efficient, but for ease of use. As Leiserson et al.

First, a bit of operating-system design context. The answer is hardware interrupts. The interval between timer interrupts depends on the Windows version and on your hardware but on every machine I have used recently the default interval has been 15.625 ms (1,000 ms divided by 64). Timer interrupts and their raison d’être.
