Abstract
Currently,fetch policies in Simultaneous Multithreading(SMT)processors almost focus on overall performance optimization,and provide no control over how individual threads are executed.A novel fetch policy called CPIT(Controlling Performance of Individual Thread)is proposed to control the execution of a particular thread in SMT processors.Results show that for more than 94% of all cases measured,CPIT can control the execution and consequently achieve the desired performance for a given thread.For the failing cases,the average variance is within 1.25%.Furthermore,CPIT does not sacrifice overall performance of SMT processors severely.Compared to fetch policies orienting towards performance maximization such as ICOUNT,the average degradation of overall performance is not more than 3% and the degradation of threads other than the given thread in performance is only 1.75%.
