Project description
Modern processors execute multiple software threads concurrently to improve hardware utilization. This leads to non-dependable performance: threads that execute concurrently affect each other's performance in unpredictable ways. This project investigates techniques to estimate per-thread progress and leverage these predictions in system software and hardware to better manage hardware resources and improve per-thread performance as well as overall system performance.
