Abstract: Processors in large#scale multiprocessors must be able to tolerate large communication latencies and synchro# nization delays. This paper describes the architecture of a rapid#context#switching processor called APRIL with support for #ne#grain threads and synchroniza# tion. APRIL achieves high single#thread performance and supports virtual dynamic threads. A commercial RISC#based implementation of APRIL and a run#time software system that can switch contexts in about 10 cycles is described.... (Update)
