Intel single threaded hack for multi-core processors
 
Quote:
According to Intel, the proposed hardware/software scheme outperforms previous hardware-only schemes to implement the idea of combining cores for executing single-thread applications in a multi-core design by more than 10% on average on Spec2006 for all configurations. Moreover, single-thread performance is improved by 41% on average when the proposed scheme is used on a so-called “tiny-core” (Intel did not reveal, what tiny-core actually is, but it may potentially be a part of the company’s SSC 48-core processor), and up to 2.6 times for some selected applications.

Could this be what DrWho? said he was wrapping up at the end of last year? He mentioned he was wrapping up a huge coding program, and mentioned we would love the multi-core performance from it.

Sweet. So now superpi will run more like wprime now? i7 may rule 01? Or is this for later architectures?

i believe this is more for later architecture, but such things are not realistically that far off.

MMM reverse hyperthreading!

its been rumored for years lets hope it comes out with the next archtecture

I'd love it to come out for this architecture. Right NAOW!

Come'on meow you know how intel rolls. You'll need a whole new socket/platform for this to work of course. :thumbdown:

Yeah, I know. Would be nice if Intel would throw us a bone once in a while though. I mean, we do spend thousands of dollars on their crap.... the least they could do is throw us a little software to play with. :cool3:
