Chip multi-threaded (CMT) processors provide support for many simultaneous hardware
threads of execution in various ways, including simultaneous multithreading (SMT) and chip …

Continuous mobile vision is limited by the inability to efficiently capture image frames and
process vision features. This is largely due to the energy burden of analog readout circuitry …

SMT processors increase performance by executing instructions from several threads
simultaneously. These threads use the resources of the processor better by sharing them …

This paper describes the architecture and implementation of the Tahoma Web browsing
system. Key to Tahoma is the browser operating system (BOS), a new trusted software layer …

The key to high performance in Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) processors lies in
optimizing the distribution of shared resources to active threads. Existing resource …

A fundamental problem in software based security is whether local security checks inserted
into the code are sufficient to implement a global security property. We introduce a formalism …

Current operating systems (OS) perceive the different contexts of simultaneous
multithreaded (SMT) processors as multiple independent processing units, although, in …

We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically
detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with the …

Memory system optimizations have been well studied on single-threaded systems; however,
the wide use of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) techniques raises questions over their …

Multithreaded architectures now appear across the entire range of computing devices, from
the highest-performing general purpose devices to low-end embedded processors …
