Various studies have shown that OS jitter can degrade parallel program performance considerably at large processor counts. Most sources of system jitter fall broadly into 5 catego...
Speculative multithreading (SpMT) architecture can exploit thread-level parallelism that cannot be identified statically. Speedup can be obtained by speculatively executing threa...
With the shrinking of transistors continuing to follow Moore's Law and the non-scalability of conventional outof-order processors, multi-core systems are becoming the design ...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) increases processor throughput by multiplexing resources among several threads. Despite the commercial availability of SMT processors, several as...
Commercial servers, such as database or application servers, often attempt to improve performance via multithreading. Improper multi-threading architectures can incur contention, ...
