We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) speedups of an order-of-magnitude or greater may be possible using the techniques described herein. Traditional speculative code execution is t...
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...
Modern computers have taken advantage of the instruction-level parallelism (ILP) available in programs with advances in both architecture and compiler design. Unfortunately, large...
The performance of out-of-order processors increases with the instruction window size. In conventional processors, the effective instruction window cannot be larger than the issue...
