Tolerating memory latency through lightweight multithreading
As processor clock frequencies continue to improve at a rate that exceeds the rate of improvement in the performance of semiconductor memories, so the effect of memory latency on processor efficiency increases. Unless steps are taken to mitigate the effect of memory latency, the increased processor...
