"SMT and Foster" Same principle, Dean Tullsen: theregister.co.uk "Tullsen has subsequently consulted with Intel about introducing SMT, in work which Intel VP Pat Gelsinger referred to a couple of weeks ago, but there's been no formal announcement by Intel to introduce multithreaded processors. And Dean as he's worked with Intel, can't say anything about it. " Another pertinent snippet: Dean Tullsen takes up the story. "In 1995 we playing with the general model of SMT without thinking how much you'd implement it," he told us. But his work had already come to the attention of Joel Emer at DEC by the end of 1994. Emer had shaped DEC strategy in the late 80s, in work that led to the Alpha chip. As a veteran of studying processor performance he helped tune the VAX chip, and studied under Ed Davidson at the University of Illinois, who'd himself published papers on fine grained multithreading. And he was impressed by the Tullsen/Eggers/Levy work. Snoop around and find out about SMT plans for IA64. Ouch, my ribs hurt from laughing! Rob
