Abstract;The deviation of the memory latency is hard to predict for software especially on the SMP or NUMA systems. As the correspondence method by hardware, the multi-thread processor has been devised. However, it is not general to improve a performance in a single program. We have been proposed SCALT which has a buffer as a software context. For the deviation of a latency problem, a instruction which checks existence of the data arrival to a buffer has been proposed. This report describes the SCALT and evaluatation results the performance of SCALT with buffer check instruction with an event-driven simulator for SMP system. (author abst.)
