 Review of Threading Algorithms

Hyper-Threading Concepts Hyper-Threading Architecture

Advantages/Disadvantages
Applications

 Time-slicing A processor switches between threads in fixed time intervals. High expenses, especially if one of the processes is in the wait state. Switch-on-event Task switching in case of long pauses Waiting for data coming from a relatively slow source, CPU resources are given to other processes

 Hyper-Threading Technology makes a single physical

processor appear as multiple logical processors At each point of time only a part of processor resources is used for execution of the program code. Unused resources can also be loaded, for example, with parallel execution of another thread/application. Extremely useful in desktop and server applications where many threads are used.

Each processor core works on two tasks at the same time

 First used in Intel Xeon MP processor Makes a single physical processor appear as

multiple logical processors. Each logical processor has a copy of architecture state. Logical processors share a single set of physical execution resources

Extra architecture only adds about 5% to the total die area

.

No performance loss if only one thread is active. Increased performance with multiple threads

Better resource utilization

To take advantage of hyperthreading performance, serial execution can not be used.

Threads are non-deterministic and involve extra design

Shared resource conflicts

Intel's Pentium 4 processors of late have matured into a well rounded desktop and workstation processor. Intel's introduction of value chipsets based on DDR-SDRAM has made the Pentium 4 somewhat affordable for the average users.
