This paper presents the first analysis of operating system execution on a simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processor. While SMT has been studied extensively over the past 6 years,...
As semiconductor feature sizes decrease, interconnect delay is becoming a dominant component of processor cycle times. This creates a critical need to shift microarchitectural des...
