Multicore is an integrated circuit chip that uses two or more computational engines (cores) places in a single processor. This new approach is used to split the computational work of a threaded application and spread it over multiple execution cores, so that the computer system can benefits from a better performance and better responsiveness of the system. A thread is a unit of execution inside a process that is created and maintained to execute a set of actions/ instructions. Threads can be implemented differently from an operating system to another, but the operating system is in most cases responsible to schedule the execution of different threads. Multi-threading improving efficiency of processor performance with a cost-effective memory system. In this paper, we explore one approach to improve communications for multithreaded. Pre-send is a software Controlled data forwarding technique that sends data to destination's cache before it is needed, eliminating cache misses in the destination's cache as well as reducing the coherence traffic on the bus. we show how we could improve the overall system performance by addition of these architecture optimizations to multi-core processors.
