Blacksmith – Rowhammer bit flips on all DRAM devices today despite mitigations

HE is stupidly inefficient, and is entirely an academic oddity, and there is every indication that it will always remain that way. Bringing up HE in a context of real problems needing real solutions is unproductive.

If solving a problem in a stupidly inefficient way is the only way of mitigating said problem, you may not have much choice--at least for some use cases. Saying something can't be answer because it isn't an efficient answer (today) is also unproductive.

There's a simple way of mitigating said problem - don't use shared hardware, and run each thing on aseparate, isolated chip. That's also inefficient, but compared to the immense overhead of HE it's quite reasonable.
