Micro-thread (multi-core)
open-in-new
<p>Micro-threads for multi-core and many-cores processors is a mechanism to hide <a href="/facts/Memory_latency/Hp8RD46j">memory latency</a> similar to multi-threading architectures. However, it is done in <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> for multi-core processors such as the Cell Broadband Engine to dynamically hide latencies that occur due to memory latency or I/O operations. </p>
