2009 18th International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques
Mapping Out a Path from Hardware Transactional Memory to Speculative Multithreading
Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
September 12-September 16
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3771-9
This research demonstrates that coming support for hardware transactional memory can be leveraged to significantly reduce the cost of implementing true speculative multithreading. In particular, it explores the path from eager conflict detection HTM to full support of efficient speculative multithreading, focusing on the case where frequent memory dependencies exist between speculative threads. The result is a unified memory architecture capable of effective support for transactional parallel workloads and efficient speculative multithreading.
