2. 1. Techniques to Reduce Thread-Level Speculation Overhead

   Author : Fredrik Warg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer architecture; multithreaded processors; performance evaluation; speculation overhead; thread-level speculation; chip multiprocessors;

   Abstract : The traditional single-core processors are being replaced by chip multiprocessors (CMPs) where several processor cores are integrated on a single chip. While this is beneficial for multithreaded applications and multiprogrammed workloads, CMPs do not provide performance improvements for single-threaded applications. READ MORE

4. 2. Design and Implementation of Thread-Level Speculation in JavaScript Engines

   Author : Jan Kasper Martinsen; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; parallel computation; web applications; thread-level speculation;

   Abstract : Two important trends in computer systems are that applications are moved to the Internet as web applications, and that computer systems are getting an increasing number of cores to increase the performance. It has been shown that JavaScript in web applications has a large potential for parallel execution despite the fact that JavaScript is a sequential language. READ MORE

5. 3. Techniques to Reduce Energy Dissipation in Level-1 Data Caches

   Author : Alen Bardizbanyan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The number of battery powered devices is growing significantly and these devices require energy-efficient hardware to operate for a useful period of time. Also, the future of the performance scaling in processors depends on the energy efficiency as the increasing number of cores on a single chip does not leave room for inefficient microarchitectures.
