To reiterate what I've said elsewhere, CHERI does not need a whole parallel memory architecture, there is just one that gets a slight extension over a non-CHERI/MTE system to include tags. But that is the same story as MTE, which also needs to propagate the tags in the memory system (and in fact, more tags, since we just need one bit per 16 bytes, whereas MTE needs 4 bits per 16 bytes in the common scheme).
