Abstract
Multithreaded architectures are emerging as an important
class of parallel machines. By allowing fast context switch­
ing between threads on the same processor, these systems
hide communication and synchronization latencies and al­
low scalable parallelism for dynamic and irregular applica­
tions. Thread partitioning is the most important task in
compiling high­level languages for multithreaded architec­
tures. Non­preemptive multithreaded architectures, which
can be built from off­the­shelf components, require that if
