A barrelprocessor is a CPU that switches between threads of execution on everycycle. This CPU design technique is also known as 'interleaved' or'fine-grained' temporal multithreading. As opposed to simultaneousmultithreading in modern superscalar architectures, it generally doesnot allow execution of multiple instructions in one cycle. For examplethe peripheral processing system of the CDC 6000 series computers andits successors executed one instruction from each of 10 differentvirtual processors before returning to the first processor. Also, theIP3023 processor from Ubicom executes one instruction from each of 8different threads before returning to the first thread.…
