SUPPORTING MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SPACE-TIME COMPUTING THROUGH OBJECT VERSIONING

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates multi-dimensional space and time dimensional execution of computer programs. The system includes a head thread that executes program instructions and a series of speculative threads that execute program instructions in advance of the head thread, wherein each speculative thread executes program instructions in advance of preceding speculative threads in the series. The head thread accesses a primary version of the memory element and the series of speculative threads access space-time dimensioned versions of the memory element.
