: Since the era of vector and pipelined computing, the computational speed is limited by the memory access time. Faster caches and more cache levels are used to bridge the growing ...
SMT processors are widely used in high performance computing tasks. However, with the improved performance of the SMT architecture, the utilization of their functional units is sig...

This paper examines simultaneous multithreading, a technique permitting several independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar's multiple functional units in a si...
Current day network processors incorporate several architectural features including symmetric multi-processing (SMP), block multi-threading, and multiple memory elements to suppor...
— This research demonstrates that coming support for hardware transactional memory can be leveraged to significantly reduce the cost of implementing true speculative multithread...
