Multicore processors have become ubiquitous in today’s systems, but exploiting the parallelism they offer remains difficult, especially for legacy application and applications ...
Data prefetching via helper threading has been extensively investigated on Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) or Virtual Multi-Threading (VMT) architectures. Although reportedly la...
Helper threading is a technique that utilizes a second core or logical processor in a multi-threaded system to improve the performance of the main thread. A helper thread executes...
Data prefetching has been widely used in the past as a technique for hiding memory access latencies. However, data prefetching in multi-threaded applications running on chip multi...
