Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) processors are becoming popular because they exploit both instruction-level and threadlevel parallelism by issuing instructions from different t...
This discussion paper explores the problems of operating systems support when implementing concurrency controls at the level of the instruction set in processors designed for mult...
Abstract—Parameter variations have become a dominant challenge in microprocessor design. Voltage variation is especially daunting because it happens so rapidly. We measure and ch...
