Using Incorrect Speculation to Prefetch Data in a Concurrent Multithreaded Processor
Concurrent multithreaded architectures exploit both instruction-level and thread-level parallelism through a combination of branch prediction and thread-level control speculation. ...

Runahead Threads to improve SMT performance
In this paper, we propose Runahead Threads (RaT) as a valuable solution for both reducing resource contention and exploiting memory-level parallelism in Simultaneous Multithreaded...

Reducing the frequency of tag compares for low power I-cache design
In current processors, the cache controller, which contains the cache directory and other logic such as tag comparators, is active for each instruction fetch and is responsible fo...

A Minimal Dual-Core Speculative Multi-Threading Architecture
Speculative Multi-Threading (SpMT) can improve single-threaded application performance using the multiple thread contexts available in current processors. We propose a minimal SpM...

Improving cache locality for thread-level speculation
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...
