Master/Slave Speculative Parallelization (MSSP) is an execution paradigm for improving the
execution rate of sequential programs by parallelizing them speculatively for execution on a …

The advent of multicores presents a promising opportunity for speeding up sequential
programs via profile-based speculative parallelization of these programs. In this paper we …

We present Runtime Automatic Speculative Parallelization (RASP), a technique for the
dynamic extraction of speculative threads from a running application in a user-transparent …

Speculative multithreading has been recently proposed to boost performance by means of
exploiting thread-level parallelism in applications difficult to parallelize. The performance of …

With the right techniques, multicore architectures may be able to continue the exponential
performance trend that elevated the performance of applications of all types for decades …

With speculative parallelization, code sections that cannot be fully analyzed by the compiler
are optimistically executed in parallel. Hardware schemes are fast but expensive and …

While clusters of commodity servers and switches are the most popular form of large-scale
parallel computers, many programs are not easily parallelized for execution upon them. In …

We propose a speculative multi-threading processor architecture called Pinot. Pinot exploits
parallelism over a wide range of granularities without modifying program sources. Since …

The computer industry has adopted multi-threaded and multi-core architectures as the clock
rate increase stalled in early 2000's. It was hoped that the continuous improvement of single …

Thread-level speculation (TLS) allows us to automatically parallelize general-purpose
programs by supporting parallel execution of threads that might not actually be independent …
