Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
Conventional instruction fetch mechanisms fetch contiguous blocks of instructions in each cycle. They are difficult to scale since taken branches make it hard to increase the siz...
