Abstract
When a new control thread is initialized in a multi-thread software program, it is determined whether a like control thread has previously been instantiated. If so, a stack offset for the new control thread is set to be staggered from the stack offset for the previously instantiated like thread. By staggering the stack offsets of respective duplicate control threads, cache conflicts may be minimized.
