The behavior of a multithreaded program does not depend only on its inputs. Scheduling, memory reordering, timing, and low-level hardware effects all introduce nondeterminism in t...

This paper presents the Mitosis framework, which is a combined hardware-software approach to speculative multithreading, even in the presence of frequent dependences among threads....
The growth in size and performance of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has compelled System-on-aProgrammable-Chip (SoPC) designers to use soft processors for controlling sys...

Various studies have shown that OS jitter can degrade parallel program performance considerably at large processor counts. Most sources of system jitter fall broadly into 5 catego...
This paper examines the performance of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) for network servers using actual hardware, multiple network server applications, and several workloads. Us...
