Supporting Fine-Grained Synchronization on a Simultaneous Multithreading Processor
This paper proposes and evaluates new synchronization schemes for a simultaneous multithreaded processor. We present a scalable mechanism that permits threads to cheaply synchroni...

Instruction Recycling on a Multiple-Path Processor
Processors that can simultaneously execute multiple paths of execution will only exacerbate the fetch bandwidth problem already plaguing conventional processors. On a multiple-pat...

The Synergy of Multithreading and Access/Execute Decoupling
This work presents and evaluates a novel processor microarchitecture which combines two paradigms: access/ execute decoupling and simultaneous multithreading. We investigate how b...

Improving CC-NUMA Performance Using Instruction-Based Prediction
We propose Instruction-based Prediction as a means to optimize directory-based cache coherent NUMA shared-memory. Instruction-based prediction is based on observing the behavior o...

A Study of Control Independence in Superscalar Processors
Control independence has been put forward as a significant new source of instruction-level parallelism for future generation processors. However, its performance potential under p...
