	Paper reading 2:
	1. Read “Limits of instruction-level parallelism,” by David Wall, Nov 1993 Read pages 1-35 (about ½ of paper is figures). In your comments, rank in order of importance alias analysis, branch prediction, jump prediction, register renaming, and speculative execution Mention what are limits to this study of limits of ILP 2. Read "Simultaneous Multithreading: A Platform for Next Generation Processors", by Susan Eggers et al.   Comment on the following: What assumption were made about computer organization before adding SMT? How does it compare to Wall’s claims of ILP limits? What changes were made to add SMT? What performance advantages are claimed? For what workloads?
