We investigate the unusual way memory subsystem interacts with branch prediction and how this interaction shapes software performance.

We investigate the unusual way memory subsystem interacts with branch prediction and how this interaction shapes software performance.
In this post we investigate how the memory subsystem behaves in an environment where several threads compete for memory subsystem resources. We also investigate techniques to improve the performance of multithreaded programs – programs that split the workload onto several CPU cores so that they finish faster.
