&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.extremetech.com&amp;#x2F;extreme&amp;#x2F;56406-intel-hires-elbrus-microprocessor-design-team&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.extremetech.com&amp;#x2F;extreme&amp;#x2F;56406-intel-hires-elbrus...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;On Monday, Intel representatives confirmed reports in Russian-language newspapers that the American chip giant had hired approximately 500 engineers and related staff from the Elbrus Moscow Center of Sparc Technology, a state-sponsored design house in Russia. Some of the engineers will be hired away from Unipro, a related company. The new hires include Boris Babayan, Alexander Kim and Ivan Bolozov, said to be the architects of the E2K processor, a failed “Itanium-killer”.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;And same happens in past too:

It contains the 64-bit address of the object, its size (no more than 4 GB) and the position of the pointer inside the object. The mode enhances program memory control during execution.&lt;p&gt;Like Intels unused bound checking additions, it checks the starting offset and the ending offset. But without the HW hash table.</text></comment>
