    Using Incorrect Speculation to Prefetch Data in a Concurrent Multithreaded Processor Ying Chen, Resit Sendag, and David J. Lilja Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Minnesota Supercomputing Institute University of Minnesota 200 Union St. S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA {wildfire, rsgt, lilja}@ece.umn.edu Abstract that can be exploited in an application program. If a speculated control dependence turns out to be incorrect, the non-speculative head thread must kill all of its speculative successor threads. Concurrent multithreaded architectures exploit both With both instruction- and thread-level control speculation, a instruction-level and thread-level parallelism through a multithreaded architecture may issue many memory references combination of branch prediction and thread-level control which turn out to be unnecessary since they are issued from what speculation. The resulting speculative issuing of load subsequently is determined to be a mispredicted branch path or a instructions in these architectures can significantly impact the mispredicted thread. However, these incorrectly issued memory performance of the memory hierarchy as the system exploits references may produce an indirect prefetching effect by higher degrees of parallelism. In this study, we investigate the bringing data or instruction lines into the cache that are needed effects of executing the mispredicted load instructions on the later by correctly-executed threads and branch paths. cache performance of a scalable multithreaded architecture. We Existing superscalar processors with deep pipelines and wide show that the execution of loads from the wrongly-predicted issue units do allow memory references to be issued branch path within a thread, or from a wrongly-forked thread, speculatively down wrongly-predicted branch paths.
