Simultaneous multithreading(SMT) processors execute instructions from different threads in the same cycle,which has the unique ability to exploit ILP and TLP simultaneously.EPIC emphasizes the importance of the synergy between the compiler and the hardware.In this paper,we present our efforts to design and implement a parallel environment,which includes a parallel compiler OpenUH and the SMT architecture EDSMT based on IA-64.The performance is evaluated using the NAS parallel benchmarks.
