Multithreaded computer systems are parallel machines in which threads are sequentially executed code segments. Each processor has hardware support for quickly switching contexts among runnable threads. Other features include some form of data matching, split-phase memory accesses, and a dataflow-like regime for thread instantiation. They combine features of conventional von Neumann systems with those of fine-grained dataflow architectures.In this minisymposium three speakers address architectural principles and issues, examine approaches to providing implicitly parallel software for these machines, and give an industrial perspective that includes the potential wader influence of multithreaded computers.1063-9535/92 $3.00 0 1992 IEEE
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
