In this talk I give you some information about how an idea about a new CPU architecture (NEx64T) came, and what was needed to get some numbers that let me compare it to the famous x86 and x64 ones.
An x86/x64 disassembler library was presented (diStorm3) with its dislib.py module that handles Microsoft’s PE binary files.
A basic algorithm to disassemble as much code as possible is shown, as well as what kind of information were retrieved and profiled to get interesting statistics.
Some real world numbers are provided about the code density of the new CPU, and compared to x86 and x64 ones.
This article has really peaked my interest. I am
going to bookmark your website and keep checking for new information about once a week.
