Title
Redefining the Role of the CPU in the Era of CPU-GPU Integration
Abstract
In an integrated CPU-GPU system, the CPU executes code that is profoundly different than in past CPU-only environments. This new code's characteristics should drive future CPU design and architecture. Post-GPU code has lower instruction-level parallelism, more difficult branch prediction, and loads and stores that are significantly harder to predict. Post-GPU code exhibits much smaller gains from the availability of multiple cores, owing to reduced thread-level parallelism.
