Scaling up the Atlas chip-multiprocessor
Peter G. Sassone, D. Scott Wills · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 2004
Atlas, a dynamically multithreading chip-multiprocessor (CMP), gains little complexity as processing elements are added. When the model is scaled up with strategic layouts and realistic latencies, area and power efficiency surpass that of an aggressive out-of-order processor, though results are sensitive to global communication delay.
