Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) processors are becoming popular because they exploit both instruction-level and threadlevel parallelism by issuing instructions from different t...
Performance analysis of microprocessors is a critical step in defining the microarchitecture, prior to register-transfer-level (RTL) design. In complex chip multiprocessor systems...
