Thread-level speculation (TLS) allows potentially dependent threads to speculatively execute in parallel, thus making it easier for the compiler to extract parallel threads. Howeve...
With the advent of chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) remains a promising technique for exploiting this highly multithreaded hardware to improve the perfo...
While architects understandhow to build cost-effective parallel machines across a wide spectrum of machine sizes (ranging from within a single chip to large-scale servers), the re...

Industry is moving towards multi-core designs as we have hit the memory and power walls. Multi-core designs are very effective to exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP) but do not...
Most of the prediction mechanisms predict a single path to continue the execution on a branch. Alternatively, we may exploit parallelism from either possible paths of a branch, di...
