Abstract
A scoreboard may keep track of thread dependencies. A set of threads with a common characteristic may be grouped so that if that characteristic is changed, the group of threads can be accessed to account for that change. Examples for such a characteristic include various types of scoreboard address changes. When the characteristic is changed the group of threads are used to identify threads affected by the characteristic change.
