The power consumption of microprocessors is becoming increasingly important in design decisions, not only in mobile processors, but also now in high-performance processors. Power-...
The Sort operation is a core part of many critical applications. Despite the large efforts to parallelize it, the fact that it suffers from high data-dependencies vastly limits it...

This paper describes how a superscalar in-order processor must be modified to support Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) such that time-predictability is preserved for hard real-ti...
In processors with several levels of hardware resource sharing, like CMPs in which each core is an SMT, the scheduling process becomes more complex than in processors with a singl...

Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...
