Editing Temporal multithreading (section)

==Comparison to simultaneous multithreading==
In any of its forms, temporal multithreading is similar in many ways to simultaneous multithreading.  As in the simultaneous process, the [[computer hardware|hardware]] must store a complete set of states per concurrent thread implemented. The hardware must also preserve the illusion that a given thread has the processor resources to itself.  Fairness algorithms must be included in both types of multithreading situations to prevent one thread from dominating processor time and/or resources.

Temporal multithreading has an advantage over simultaneous multithreading in that it causes lower processor heat output; however, it allows only one thread to be executed at a time.
