Groundbreaking discovery might make existing computers twice as fast with no hardware upgrades (bgr.com)

computing innovation Technology

Research on simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (SHMT) proposes a way to significantly improve computer performance and reduce energy usage without hardware upgrades. Initial tests showed up to 1.95 times faster processing and a 51% reduction in energy usage. However, the technology faces challenges, including the need for rigorous quality assurance tests to ensure compatibility across processor architectures. The breakthrough was presented at the 56th annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture.
Main Points
- SHMT boosts PC performance without hardware upgradesSHMT takes advantage of multiple processors in devices to run tasks simultaneously, significantly boosting performance and energy efficiency without hardware changes.
- Challenges in SHMT integrationThe integration of SHMT into devices faces challenges such as the need for stringent quality assurance tests to avoid precision mismatches in processor architectures.
