Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) increases processor throughput by multiplexing resources among several threads. Despite the commercial availability of SMT processors, several as...
The recent shift in the industry towards chip multiprocessor (CMP) designs has brought the need for multi-threaded applications to mainstream computing. As observed in several lim...
The major chip manufacturers have all introduced chip multiprocessing (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) technology into their processing units. As a result, even low-end...
The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...
The performance impact of the Physical Register File (PRF) size on Simultaneous Multithreading processors has not been extensively studied in spite of being a critical shared reso...
