Speculative Optimizations for Parallel Programs on Multicores
The advent of multicores presents a promising opportunity for exploiting fine grained parallelism present in programs. Programs parallelized in the above fashion, typically involv...

Improving the performance of speculatively parallel applications on the Hydra CMP
Hydra is a chip multiprocessor (CMP) with integrated support for thread-level speculation. Thread-level speculation provides a way to parallelize sequential programs without the n...

The potential for variable-granularity access tracking for optimistic parallelism
Support for optimistic parallelism such as thread-level speculation (TLS) and transactional memory (TM) has been proposed to ease the task of parallelizing software to exploit the...

Mitosis compiler: an infrastructure for speculative threading based on pre-computation slices
Speculative parallelization can provide significant sources of additional thread-level parallelism, especially for irregular applications that are hard to parallelize by conventio...
