This paper addresses the problem of extracting coarse-grained parallelism from large sequential code. It builds on BOP, a system for software speculative parallelization. BOP lets...
With the right techniques, multicore architectures may be able to continue the exponential performance trend that elevated the performance of applications of all types for decades...

The advent of multicores presents a promising opportunity for speeding up sequential programs via profile-based speculative parallelization of these programs. In this paper we pr...
—Fast track is a software speculation system that enables unsafe optimization of sequential code. It speculatively runs optimized code to improve performance and then checks the ...
Thread-level speculation is a technique that enables parallel execution of sequential applications on a multiprocessor. This paper describes the complete implementation of the sup...
