Multiprocessor architectures that continuously execute atomic blocks (or chunks) of instructions can improve performance and software productivity. However, all of the prior propo...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) represents a fundamental shift in processor capability. SMT's ability to execute multiple threads simultaneously within a single CPU offers ...
In SMT processors, the complex interplay between private and shared datapath resources needs to be considered in order to realize the full performance potential. In this paper, we...
—Modern micro-architecture simulators are many orders of magnitude slower than the hardware they simulate. The use of multiprocessor architectures for supporting future mobile an...
