- Improving Application Efficiency Through Chip Multi-Threading
- Chip multi-threading CMT brings to hardware the concept of multi-threading, similar to software multi-threading. A CMT-enabled processor, similar to software multi-threading, executes many software threads simultaneously within a processor on cores. So in a system with CMT processors, software threads can be executed simultaneously within one processor or across many...
