Classification and performance evaluation of simultaneous multithreaded architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we classify simultaneous multithreaded architectures based on how they select instructions issued in a single cycle. This classiication allows us to study the present trend of technology as well as to explore the new avenues for improvements in simultaneous multithreaded architectures. Based on our classi-cation, we study the impact of various parameters of simultaneous multithreading on the performance of the architecture.

Looking for Novel Ways to Obtain Fair Measurements in Multithreaded Architectures
Current methodologies do not provide representative results for the evaluation of multithreaded architectures, which could lead to unfair or misleading conclusions. This paper presents FAME, a novel evaluation methodology aimed to fairly measure the performance of multithreaded processors. FAME reexecutes all threads in a multithreaded workload until all of them are fairly represented in the fi...

متن کاملCharacterizing the Sort Operation on Multithreaded Architectures
The Sort operation is a core part of many critical applications. Despite the large efforts to parallelize it, the fact that it suffers from high data-dependencies vastly limits its performance. Multithreaded architectures are emerging as the most demanding technology in leading-edge processors. These architectures include Simultaneous Multithreading, Chip Multiprocessors and machines combining ...
متن کاملBranch Classification to Control Instruction Fetch in Simultaneous Multithreaded Architectures
In Simultaneous Multithreaded architectures many separate threads are running concurrently, sharing processor resources, thereby realizing a high utilization rate of the available hardware. However, this also implies that threads are competing for resources and in many cases this competition can actually degrade overall performance. There are two major causes for this: first, instructions that,...
