....in a novel way. It considers the performance improvement due to multithreading and defines a range of run lengths for which multithreading is profitable. It compares this range to the run lengths observed for real applications. Prefetching has also been considered in many flavors, with hardware [10, 12], software [23, 8] and hybrid [6] approaches. Software prefetching, where a compiler inserts prefetch instructions for blocks that will likely miss in the cache when referenced, is widely accepted as one of the most efficient prefetching techniques. This technique requires little hardware support ....
