As we look to the future, and the prospect of a billion transistors on a chip, it seems inevitable that microprocessors will exploit having multiple parallel threads. To achieve t...
This paper focuses on the problem of how to find and effectively exploit speculative thread-level parallelism. Our studies show that speculating only on loops does not yield suffi...
