Speculative Threading: Creating New Methods of Thread-Level Parallelization

Source: Intel
Date: January 2008

Overview: Multi-core processors are essential in helping attain this computing power. They will enable the user to capitalize on the thread-level parallelism necessary for achieving increased performance and power efficiency. Unfortunately, current tools and techniques arent really designed to maximize the parallelism in most programs at a time when software is needed to jump-start this technological leap. Consequently, Intel researchers have been investigating a number of compiler techniques and microarchitectures that can provide highly threaded code through the use of speculative threading.
