After a discussion of the basic pros and cons of chip multiprocessors (CMPs) when they are compared with conventional uniprocessors, this book examines how CMPs can best be designed to handle two radically different kinds of workloads: highly parallel, throughput-sensitive applications at one end of the spectrum, and less parallel, latency-sensitive applications at the other.
