Using thread-level speculation to simplify manual parallelization
In this paper, we provide examples of how thread-level speculation (TLS) simplifies manual parallelization and enhances its performance. A number of techniques for manual parallel...

A Large, Fast Instruction Window for Tolerating Cache Misses
Instruction window size is an important design parameter for many modern processors. Large instruction windows offer the potential advantage of exposing large amounts of instructi...

A Scalable Instruction Queue Design Using Dependence Chains
Increasing the number of instruction queue (IQ) entries in a dynamically scheduled processor exposes more instruction-level parallelism, leading to higher performance. However, in...

A Mechanism for Speculative Memory Accesses Following Synchronizing Operations
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...

Clustered speculative multithreaded processors
In this paper we present a processor microarchitecture that can simultaneously execute multiple threads and has a clustered design for scalability purposes. A main feature of the ...
