Abstract--- Multithreaded architectures are a feasible
approach to exploit both regular and irregular paral
lelism. Today a large collection of multithreading archi
tectures with different threaded models, ad implementa
tion platforms are available. These architectures provide
support for multithreading either at hardware level, with
customized functional units, or at the software level, as
emulators written in some highlevel language. The later
approach is usually preferred because of its favorable
