Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) allows multiple threads to supply instructions to the instruction pipeline of a superscalar processor. Because threads share processor resources,...

Today’s general-purpose processors are increasingly using multithreading in order to better leverage the additional on-chip real estate available with each technology generation...

In a Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) architecture, the front end of a superscalar is adapted in order to be able to fetch from several threads while the back end is shared among ...

We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
Several multithreading techniques have been proposed to reduce resource underutilization in Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors. Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) is a po...
