Abstract

We propose a new hardware-based power management technique that is made possible by a multithreaded processor core. A processor-internal scheduler manages frequency and voltage scaling based on the current processor utilization given in percentage of the total performance.

An evaluation of speculative instruction execution on simultaneous multithreaded processors

Modern superscalar processors rely heavily on speculative execution for performance. For example, our measurements show that on a 6-issue superscalar, 93% of committed instructions for SPECINT95 are speculative. Without speculation, processor resources ...
