Recent proposals for Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) advocate speculative, or implicit, threading in which the hardware employs prediction to peel off instruction sequences (i.e., imp...

Conventional snoopy-based chip multiprocessors take an aggressive approach broadcasting snoop requests to all nodes. In addition each node checks all received requests. This appro...
Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) are flexible, high-frequency platforms on which to support Thread-Level Speculation (TLS). However, for TLS to deliver on its promise, CMPs must explo...

Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...
The rapid advancements of networking technology have boosted potential bandwidth to the point that the cabling is no longer the bottleneck. Rather, the bottlenecks lie at the cros...
