Compiler Optimization of Memory-Resident Value Communication Between Speculative Threads
Efficient inter-thread value communication is essential for improving performance in Thread-Level Speculation (TLS). Although several mechanisms for improving value communication ...

Unspeculation
Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...
