Initial Observations of the SMT Pentium 4 Processor Q1. In the Pentium 4, while running two threads, what resources are partitioned dynamically, and what resources are partitioned statically between the two threads? How is this different from the model assumed in previous papers [28]? Q2. The paper validates a subset of claims made by SMT research -- increased throuput, improved synchronization, symbiotic scheduling, etc. What are some of the other questions that still remain unanswered?
