Abstract: Simultaneous multithreading processors are dominating the High Computing Performance market. Among these processors, those supporting only two threads are being the most widely deployed in ...

In the world of modern CPUs, speculative execution, where a processor guesses ahead on branches and executes instructions before the actual code path is confirmed, has long been recognized as a ...

An emerging ransomware cybercriminal group is putting its own twist on file encryption, with a Linux variant of its malware that can run up to 100 encryption threads in parallel and supports partial ...

China has spawned a supercomputing contender. This story starts in 2016 when AMD licensed its first-generation Zen CPU design and the x86-64 architecture it used to a Chinese outfit called Tianjin ...

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), or HyperThreading (HT) as Intel calls it, can make some programs faster but makes realtime audio software like Mixxx much more likely to glitch. Most modern ...
