Title
A Preliminary Performance Study of Architectural Support for Multithreading
Abstract
This paper discusses the preliminary performance study ofhybrid multithreaded execution model that combinessoftware-controlled multithreaded system with hardwaresupport for efficient context switching and threads scheduling.The hardware support for multithreading is augmentedwith a software thread scheduling technique calledset scheduling, and their benefit to the overall performanceis discussed. Set scheduling schedules multiple threadsonto the hardware scheduler to minimize the softwarescheduling and context switching costs. An analyticalmodel of the proposed multithreaded model is discussedand simulation results of processor utilization based on theproposed model are presented. Through simulation, wefind that the hybrid multithreaded execution model resultsin high processor utilization than traditional software controlledmultithreading.
