Talk:Speculative multithreading

This page was proposed for deletion by Ethanpet113 (talk · contribs) on 18 November 2018 with the comment:
This seems to be a loose collection of references and no real article body. I can't see any way that something can possibly be parallelised by a thread but not instructions. It appears to be describing a virtual machine that makes determinations about thread execution order without programmer intervention in a manner that cannot be done ahead of time. If an the claim is that an AoT algorithm may be unable to auto-vectorize a process because of unresolved variables, such as indexes into an array in a for loop. But that being the case, it would still be an AoT algorithm on the for loop with just a lazy evaluation. I'm not even certain that would be possible without a perfect oracle. I think it might have merit but in its current state it looks too suspect to be in the main article space.

GScholar and GBooks searches both show this to be a likely notable topic. A list of references that could be used to build an article is already provided, so despite the short stub, an article seems viable

Someone should expand this aricle[edit]

Someone should expand this aricle. There should be at least a list of speculative multithreading technologies in it. --MrBurns (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I've tried to re-structure to a lede section that describes what its about in simple terms, a description which hopefully should describe the core basis (I might but probably wont do a simple example at some point) and leave open for another section to describe the technologies. Hopefully this is helpful.Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:19, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A definition and list of references is better than nothing. Servalo (talk) 08:35, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

November 2018 article issues[edit]

One of the problems with this article is lack of in-line citations. I've added an in-line cite/reference which on page 2 describes TLS. I've added a content from that which particially describes TLS. A big Gotcha seems to be a lot of the further reading decribes methods of exploiting TLS without describing what TLS is ... and the article needs to be careful in separating particular techniques for exploiting TLS from the overall concept. I feel there is a danger some of the information in the article may not be factually correct in context in the current version, though I am in no means certain this has indeed been challenged. Overall I have tagged anything that could be challenged specifically with CN. I might return and resolve some of these butI may well not. Thankyou.
