Abstract

Throughput computing, achieved through multithreading and multicore technology, can lead to performance improvements that are 10 to 30脳 those of conventional processors and systems. However, such systems should also offer good single-thread performance. Here, the authors show that hardware scouting increases the performance of an already robust core by up to 40 percent for commercial benchmarks.
