Speculative multithreading (SpMT) architecture can exploit thread-level parallelism that cannot be identified statically. Speedup can be obtained by speculatively executing threa...
To find the best designs, architects must rapidly simulate many design alternatives and have confidence in the results. Unfortunately, the most prevalent simulator construction ...
