Building Cutting-Edge Server Applications: Intel Xeon Processor Family Features the Intel NetBurst Microarchitecture With Hyper-Threading Technology
Overview The Intel NetBurst microarchitecture significantly enhances P6 microarchitecture as well as introduces new innovative performance related features, such as Execution Trace Cache, Rapid Execution Engine, Hyper-Pipelined technology, and Streaming SIMD Extensions 2. It also triples the throughput on the system bus, allowing the Intel Xeon processor family to deliver industry-leading performance and over the next several years. But typically (even with highly optimized code), not all of the available execution resources are used during each clock cycle, due to dependencies, memory latencies and data bottlenecks. Hyper-Threading technology provides two logical processors on each physical processor and lets applications execute separate tasks on each logical processor. This increases the utilization of resources on the processor, thereby reducing bottlenecks and increasing throughput for multi-threaded applications.
