ABSTRACT:
An apparatus associated with identifying a critical thread based on information gathered during meeting point processing is provided. One embodiment of the apparatus may include logic to selectively update meeting point counts for threads upon determining that they have arrived at a meeting point. The embodiment may also include logic to periodically identify which thread in a set of threads is a critical thread. The critical thread may be the slowest thread and criticality may be determined by examining meeting point counts. The embodiment may also include logic to selectively manipulate a configurable attribute of the critical thread and/or core upon which the critical thread will run.
