Ok Mr. Computer Science Major. At least enlighten us and explain to us how it would work, or do you only stop by, complain about "missing resarch" and then move along?
What would this software layer be? A background running program? Does it have to be application specific? Would it help with gaming? Which applications would it help with?
 
You know, not everybody can be as godly smart as you, solving the problems of humanity in your thesis.

It's based on the same premise as Morphcore which you can find a basic diagram of in the article. Read Intel's white paper on it, but the short of it is something akin to a virtualization or emulation layer just above the OS which would do in-line rearrangement of instructions to extract thread-level parallelism. It's a more coarse version of VISC which Nvidia employed with the Denver architecture which it originally aimed for x86 use instead of ARM. The reason MorphCore is more likely to be successful is VISC requires having a VLIW design philosophy to truly shine, and no one has come up with a workable, extensible design for it despite being a 25-year-old concept. Basically in MorphCore the software layer picks apart the instructions into related sets and deploys them to individual threads which it has running in the background, like a virtual machine, but lighter weight and native.In general it will help with any application built on one thread that could have been parallelized at the thread level, including DX 9/11 games. Yes it would run in the background. It's very much application agnostic. There are some problems in computer science which cannot be parallelized at all, but they're niche or small pieces of bigger programs. The benefit of MorphCore will never be as big as the effects of programming for multiple threads in the first place (unless the programmer sucks at parallelism completely), but it will help give a big boost to older applications no one is ever going to recode.
And fair warning, don't mock people just because they seem to be less than experts on the surface. Everyone has something to teach you, even if it's a lesson in how not to act. You will lose many opportunities in life if you mock people with wisdom and life lessons to share.
Second fair warning, I have a reputation on this forum as one who commands the facts and doesn't let BS slide either in provision of fact or expansion of logic. If you step into the ring, 99 times out of 100, I will bury you. Ask around. I'm not as cocky as I sound. I'm just right when I am, and otherwise I don't type anything, or I ask questions.
