Pipeline flushes are becoming increasingly expensive in modern microprocessors with large instruction windows and deep pipelines. Selective re-execution is a technique that can r...
Composable multicore systems merge multiple independent cores for running sequential single-threaded workloads. The performance scalability of these systems, however, is limited d...
