Title: Innovations by Peter Rundberg in Multithreading Processors
Introduction
Peter Rundberg is a notable inventor based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He has made significant contributions to the field of multithreading processors, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing processor efficiency through innovative designs and methodologies.
Latest Patents
Rundberg's latest patents include "Multi-version register file for multithreading processors with live-in precomputation." This invention discloses selected embodiments of a processor that may include a plurality of thread units and a register file architecture to support speculative multithreading. In this embodiment, live-in values for a speculative thread are computed via execution of a precomputation slice and stored in a validation buffer for later validation. A global register file holds the committed architecture state generated by a non-speculative thread, while each thread unit includes a local register file. A directory indicates which speculative thread(s) have generated a value for each architectural register.
Another significant patent is "Selection of spawning pairs for a speculative multithreaded processor." This method analyzes a set of spawning pairs, where each pair identifies at least one speculative thread. The analysis can be practiced via software in a compiler, binary optimizer, or standalone modeler. It includes determining a predicted execution time for a sequence of program instructions, given the set of spawning pairs, for a target processor that supports speculative multithreading. The method selects a spawning pair according to a greedy approach if it provides a performance enhancement in terms of decreased execution time due to increased parallelism.
