With aggressive superscalar processors delivering diminishing returns, alternate designs that make good use of the increasing chip densities are actively being explored. One such ...
Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...

This paper introduces a novel technique which leverages value prediction and multithreading on a simultaneous multithreading processor to achieve higher performance in a single th...
Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors are a popular choice in embedded domain due to their hardware simplicity, low cost and low power consumption. Simultaneous MultiThreadi...
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 ...
