As multi-core architectures with Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) are becoming better
understood, it is important to focus on TLS compilation. TLS compilers are interesting in that …

As increasing the performance of single-threaded processors becomes increasingly difficult,
consumer desktop processors are moving toward multi-core designs. One way to enhance …

Thread-level speculation (TLS) makes it possible to parallelize general purpose C
programs. This paper proposes software and hardware mechanisms that support …

Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) are flexible, high-frequency platforms on which to support
Thread-Level Speculation (TLS). However, for TLS to deliver on its promise, CMPs must …

In this paper, we provide examples of how thread-level speculation (TLS) simplifies manual
parallelization and enhances its performance. A number of techniques for manual …

As hardware systems move toward multicore and multithreaded architectures, programmers
increasingly rely on automated tools to help with both the parallelization of legacy codes and …

Speculative parallelization can provide significant sources of additional thread-level
parallelism, especially for irregular applications that are hard to parallelize by conventional …

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 …

Compiler infrastructures that support experimental research are crucial to the advancement
of high-performance computing. New compiler technology must be implemented and …

Multithreaded processor architectures are becoming increasingly commonplace: many
current and upcoming designs support chip multiprocessing, simultaneous multithreading …
