Reducing Context Switch Overhead with Compiler-Assisted Threading
Multithreading is an important software modularization technique. However, it can incur substantial overheads, especially in processors where the amount of architecturally visible...

Cooperative reasoning for preemptive execution
We propose a cooperative methodology for multithreaded software, where threads use traditional synchronization idioms such as locks, but additionally document each point of potent...

Physical Experimentation with Prefetching Helper Threads on Intel's Hyper-Threaded Processors
Pre-execution techniques have received much attention as an effective way of prefetching cache blocks to tolerate the everincreasing memory latency. A number of pre-execution tech...

Lightweight asynchrony using parasitic threads
Message-passing is an attractive thread coordination mechanism because it cleanly delineates points in an execution when threads communicate, and unifies synchronization and comm...
