Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...
This paper presents a model for instruction-level distributed computing that allows the implementation of scalable chip multiprocessors. Based on explicit microthreading it serves ...
—The sustained push for performance, transistor count, and instruction level parallelism has reached a point where chip level power density issues are at the forefront of design ...
We examine the ability of CMPs, due to their lower onchip communication latencies, to exploit data parallelism at inner-loop granularities similar to that commonly targeted by vec...
Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) are now commodity hardware, but commoditization of parallel software remains elusive. In the near term, the current trend of increased coreper-socket c...
