The impact of speculative execution on SMT processors
By executing two or more threads concurrently, Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) architectures are able to exploit both Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) and Thread-Level Parallelism (TLP) from the increased number of in-flight instructions that are ...
Predictable performance in SMT processors
CF '04: Proceedings of the 1st conference on Computing frontiersCurrent instruction fetch policies in SMT processors are oriented towards optimization of overall throughput and/or fairness. However, they provide no control over how individual threads are executed, leading to performance unpredictability, since the ...
Predictable Performance in SMT Processors: Synergy between the OS and SMTs
Current Operating Systems (OS) perceive the different contexts of Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) processors as multiple independent processing units, although, in reality, threads executed in these units compete for the same hardware resources. ...
