Thread-level speculation provides architectural support to aggressively run hard-to-analyze code in parallel. As speculative tasks run concurrently, they generate unsafe or specul...
In Thread-Level Speculation (TLS), speculative tasks generate memory state that cannot simply be combined with the rest of the system because it is unsafe. One way to deal with th...
As we look to the future, and the prospect of a billion transistors on a chip, it seems inevitable that microprocessors will exploit having multiple parallel threads. To achieve t...
While removing software bugs consumes vast amounts of human time, hardware support for debugging in modern computers remains rudimentary. Fortunately, we show that mechanisms for ...
Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) allows us to automatically parallelize general-purpose programs by supporting parallel execution of threads that might not actually be independent. ...
