A Survey on Thread-Level Speculation Techniques
Alvaro Estebanez, Diego R. Llanos, Arturo González-Escribano · ACM Computing Surveys · 2016
Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) is a promising technique that allows the parallel execution of sequential code without relying on a prior, compile-time-dependence analysis. In this work, we introduce the technique, present a taxonomy of TLS solutions, and summarize and put into perspective the most relevant advances in this field.
