Debugging techniques in a multithreaded environment
TL;DR: In this article, a system for debugging targets using various techniques, some of which are particularly useful in a multithread environment, is presented, such as implementing breakpoints using out-of-line instruction emulation so that an instruction replaced with a breakpoint instruction does not need to be returned to its original location for single-step execution.

A processor architecture for Horizon
M. R. Thistle,Burton Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The architecture of the processor in the Horizon system is described, which will be capable performing at a rate of several hundred MFLOPS (millions of floating-point operations per second) to achieve an overall system performance target of 100 GFLOPS.
