Intel reveals Mitosis multiplexing microarchitecture!


For now only for extreme computing in the Far East.
Generally, on the future computing find here.

The results obtained by the Mitosis compiler/architecture for a subset of the Olden benchmarks are impressive. It outperforms single-threaded execution by 2.2x. When compared with a big out-of-order core, the speedup is close to 2x. We have also shown that the benefits of Mitosis do not come only from reducing memory latency since it outperforms an ideal system with perfect memory by about 60%. Overall, this work shows that significant amounts of thread-level parallelism can be exploited in irregular codes, with a rather low overhead in terms of extra/wasted activity.

Some year old pictures.
I sincerely hope that practical promises of its future use have nothing in common with sclerosis multiplex.
