Abstract
Techniques for use in a microprocessor core for soft watermarking in thread shared resources implemented through thread mediation. A thread is removed from a thread mediation decision involving multiple threads competing or requesting to use a shared resource at a current clock cycle based on a number of entries in the shared resource that the thread is estimated to have allocated to it at the current clock cycle. By removing the thread from the thread mediation decision, the thread is stalled from allocating additional entries in the shared resource.
