Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a microprocessor architecture which efficiently utilizes next-generation semiconductor technology. While the technology makes it possible to integrate a lot of functional units on a single chip, contemporary microprocessors can not exploit much instruction level parallelism so that the units are wasted. Our proposal based on Simultaneous Multi-Threading(SMT)increases the number of available instructions and thus the functional units work efficiently. As well as application programs, a binary code translator which dynamically optimize the applications on-the-fly is executed on the SMT. We call this mechanism CON current Dynamic OptimizeR(CONDOR). Based on the CONDOR, performance of the applications are improved as well. We are currently studying the KIT COSMOS processor which utilizes the CONDOR. This paper describes background and some ideas behind the architecture.
