ABSTRACT
Parallel computing at all levels is becoming important in all devices and not least in mobile and embedded systems. Many wireless, mobile and deployable devices make use of the ARM CPU and its variants. We report on investigations into measuring instruction level parallelism on the ARM processor and on characterising the fine grained parallelism of four generations of ARM cores. We discuss the implications for future applications that use such devices with parallelism and for the future of mobile computing device architectures.

Recommendations
Converting thread-level parallelism to instruction-level parallelism via simultaneous multithreading
To achieve high performance, contemporary computer systems rely on two forms of parallelism: instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and thread-level parallelism (TLP). Wide-issue super-scalar processors exploit ILP by executing multiple instructions from a ...
Dual-IS: Instruction Set Modality for Efficient Instruction Level Parallelism
Architecture of Computing SystemsAbstractExploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) is a widely used method for increasing performance of processors. While traditional very long instruction word (VLIW) processors can exploit ILP energy-efficiently thanks to static instruction ...
Natural instruction level parallelism-aware compiler for high-performance QueueCore processor architecture
This work presents a static method implemented in a compiler for extracting high instruction level parallelism for the 32-bit QueueCore, a queue computation-based processor. The instructions of a queue processor implicitly read and write their operands, ...
