Unspeculation
Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...

Hardware atomicity for reliable software speculation
Speculative compiler optimizations are effective in improving both single-thread performance and reducing power consumption, but their implementation introduces significant compl...

Speculative Loop-Pipelining in Binary Translation for Hardware Acceleration
Abstract--Multimedia and DSP applications have several computationally intensive kernels which are often offloaded and accelerated by application-specific hardware. This paper pres...

Hardware for Speculative Run-Time Parallelization in Distributed Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Run-time parallelization is often the only way to execute the code in parallel when data dependence information is incomplete at compile time. This situation is common in many imp...

A real system evaluation of hardware atomicity for software speculation
In this paper we evaluate the atomic region compiler abstraction by incorporating it into a commercial system. We find that atomic regions are simple and intuitive to integrate i...
