  • A study of hardware/software multithreading

    Creator:
    Carlson, Ryan L.
    Abstract:
    As the design of computers advances, two important trends have surfaced: The exploitation of parallelism and the design against memory latency. Into these two new trends has come the Multithreaded Virtual Processor (MVP). Based on a standard superscalar core, the MVP is able to exploit both Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP)...

  • Simulation studies of routing algorithms for multicomputer systems

    Creator:
    Choi, Jangmin
    Abstract:
    Efficient routing of messages is critical to the performance of multicomputers. Many adaptive routing algorithms have been proposed to improve the network efficiency; however, they can make only short-sighted decisions to choose a channel for message routing because of limited information about network condition. The short-sighted decisions may cause unnecessary...

  • Architectural support for multithreading on a 4-way multiprocessor

    Creator:
    Kim, Gwang-Myung
    Abstract:
    The microprocessors will have more than a billion logic transistors on a single chip in the near future. Several alternatives have been suggested for obtaining highest performance with billion-transistor chips. To achieve the highest performance possible, an on-chip multiprocessor will become one promising alternative to the current superscalar microprocessor. It...

  • A performance study of multithreading

    Creator:
    Kwak, Hantak
    Abstract:
    As the performance gap between processor and memory grows, memory latency will be a major bottleneck in achieving high processor utilization. Multithreading has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting techniques used to tolerate memory latency by exploiting thread-level parallelism. The question however remains as to how effective...

  • Program allocation for hypercube based dataflow systems

    Creator:
    Freytag, Vincent R.
    Abstract:
    The dataflow model of computation differs from the traditional control-flow model of computation in that it does not utilize a program counter to sequence instructions in a program. Instead, the execution of instructions is based solely on the availability of their operands. Thus, an instruction is executed in a dataflow...

  • Allocation of SISAL program graphs to processors using BLAS

    Creator:
    Raisinghani, Manoj H.
    Abstract:
    There are a number of well known techniques for extracting parallelism from a given program. They range from hardware implementations, building restructuring compilers or reorganizing of programs so as to specify all the available parallelism. The success rate of any of the known techniques is rather poor over all types...

  • Interface design and system impact analysis of a message-handling processor for fine-grain multithreading

    Creator:
    Metz, David
    Abstract:
    There appears to be a broad agreement that high-performance computers of the future will be Massively Parallel Architectures (MPAs), where all processors are interconnected by a high-speed network. One of the major problems with MPAs is the latency observed for remote operations. One technique to hide this latency is multithreading....

  • Fine-grain parallelism on sequential processors

    Creator:
    Kotikalapoodi, Sridhar V.
    Abstract:
    There seems to be a consensus that future Massively Parallel Architectures will consist of a number nodes, or processors, interconnected by high-speed network. Using a von Neumann style of processing within the node of a multiprocessor system has its performance limited by the constraints imposed by the control-flow execution model....

  • Multithreaded virtual processor on DSM

    Creator:
    An, Ho Seok
    Abstract:
    Modern superscalar processors exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) by issuing multiple instructions in a single cycle because of increasing demand for higher performance in computing. However, stalls due to cache misses severely degrade the performance by disturbing the exploitation of ILP. Multiprocessors also greatly exacerbate the memory latency problem. In SMPs,...

  • Memory optimization for a parallel sorting hardware architecture

    Creator:
    Beyer, Dale A.
    Abstract:
    Sorting is one of the more computationally intensive tasks a computer performs. One of the most effective ways to speed up the task of sorting is by using parallel algorithms. When implementing a parallel algorithm, the designer has to make several decisions. Among the decisions are the algorithm and the...
