some needed results available earlier than they would be
otherwise.

very efficient speculative parallel architecture
(foldoc) | Very Efficient Speculative Parallel Architecture
VESPA
(VESPA, Portuguese for "wasp") An {Edinburgh
University} project using speculative multithreading to
improve single-application and multiprogramming performance,
and to increase fault tolerance and reliability. The project
aims to develop a compilation environment to generate
efficient speculative parallel code, including speculative
parallelisation and speculative helper threads. Other
research involves the development of optimized thread-level
speculative architectures and novel uses of speculative
multithreading, such as fault-tolerance.
