Researchers from the Massachusetts Intistute of Technology’s (MIT) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) presented a new method for improving the efficiency of hardware simulations of multicore chips. Unlike competing methods, it guarantees that the simulator won’t go into “deadlock” -- a state in which cores get stuck waiting for each other to relinquish system resources, such as memory. The method should also make it easier for designers to ...
