Abstract
During Supercomputing ’91, a panel session was held to discuss architectural and implementation issues for multithreading. The panelists presented brief position statements. Following this, the panelists considered a number of issues including the meaning of the term “multithreaded,” the need for hardware support, the role that caches can play in such architectures, and the relationship between multithreaded architectures and thread-based programming models. The discussion highlighted a diversity of opinions and a variety of areas which deserve further exploration.
