Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) attempts to keep a dynamically scheduled processor's resources busy with work from multiple independent threads. Threads with longlatency st...

In the pursuit of instruction-level parallelism, significant demands are placed on a processor's instruction delivery mechanism. Delivering the performance necessary to meet ...
In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

Current trends in processor design are pointing to deeper and wider pipelines and superscalar architectures. The efficient use of these resources requires speculative execution, ...

We present an architecture that features dynamic multithreading execution of a single program. Threads are created automatically by hardware at procedure and loop boundaries and e...
