Multiprocessor architectures that continuously execute atomic blocks (or chunks) of instructions can improve performance and software productivity. However, all of the prior propo...
Today’s general-purpose processors are increasingly using multithreading in order to better leverage the additional on-chip real estate available with each technology generation...

This paper describes how a superscalar in-order processor must be modified to support Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) such that time-predictability is preserved for hard real-ti...
Several manufacturers have recently announced the first simultaneous-multithreaded processors, both as single CPUs and as components of multi-CPU chips. All are small scale, compr...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) increases processor throughput by multiplexing resources among several threads. Despite the commercial availability of SMT processors, several as...
