The performance of the emerging commercial chip multi-
threaded multiprocessors is of great importance to the high
performance computing community. However, the growing
power consumption of such systems is of increasing concern,
and techniques that could be effectively used to increase
overall system power efficiency while sustaining performance
are very desirable. In essence, researchers have recently
proposed various mechanisms to achieve this goal for multi-
threaded applications [2, 3, 4].
Previous research has shown that system noise may have a
