Abstract
A thread scheduling technique for assigning multiple threads on a single integrated circuit is dependent on the CPIs of the threads. The technique attempts to balance, to the extent possible, the loads among the processing cores by assigning threads of relatively long-latency (low CPIs) with threads of relatively short-latency (high CPIs) to the same processing core.
