# € 50000 Libre-Chip's First CPU Architecture And Formal Proof of No Spectre bugs
Modern computers suffer from a constant stream of new speculative-execution security flaws (Spectre-style bugs). To address this major category of flaws, we are working towards building a high-performance computer processor (CPU) with speculative execution and working on a mathematical proof that it doesn't suffer from any speculative-execution data leaks, thereby demonstrating that this major category of flaws can be eliminated without crippling the computer's performance.

This is for adding the code for translating Fayalite HDL to Rocq, as well as determining how exactly we'll describe HDL in Rocq. I expect the translation code to be of comparable size to the compiler portion of the simulator (the simulator is broken into three main parts, a compiler to an IR optimized for interpretation, the interpreter itself, and the code for reading/writing simulator I/O and handling time simulation), so somewhere around 5000 LoC.
- € 2000 [Issue #N](https://git.libre-chip.org/libre-chip/grant-tracking/issues/) Figure out how exactly we should represent HDL in Rocq, writing down a manually-translated version of common HDL components (e.g. how to translate a register, a memory, an add/sub/mul/div, etc.).
- € 2000 [Issue #2](https://git.libre-chip.org/libre-chip/grant-tracking/issues/2) Figure out how exactly we should represent HDL in Rocq, writing down a manually-translated version of common HDL components (e.g. how to translate a register, a memory, an add/sub/mul/div, etc.).
- € 4000 [Issue #N](https://git.libre-chip.org/libre-chip/grant-tracking/issues/) Write the code to do the translation in Fayalite.
