Branch prediction has enabled microprocessors to increase instruction level parallelism (ILP) by allowing programs to speculatively execute beyond control boundaries. Although spe...
Speculative computing is a technique to improve the execution time of certain applications by starting some computations before it is known that the computations are required. A s...
Software-based thread-level parallelization has been widely studied for exploiting data parallelism in purely computational loops to improve program performance on multiprocessors...
In order to enhance the computer performance, nowadays microprocessors use Superscalar architecture. But the Superscalar architecture is unable to enhance the performance effectiv...
Existing runtime parallelization techniques impose severe performance penalties when a speculative parallelization is attempted and fails. Some techniques require a sequential rest...
