An L2-miss-driven early register deallocation for SMT processors
The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...

MLP-Aware Runahead Threads in a Simultaneous Multithreading Processor
Abstract. Threads experiencing long-latency loads on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor may clog shared processor resources without making forward progress, thereby star...
