  Northwoods Resort
Northwood is well known for its lakes with both seasonal and year round residences.
Operation Northwoods was a document drafted in 1962 by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and presented to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (and possibly President John F. Kennedy himself) on March 13, 1962.
Northwood is also a CPU core, part of the Pentium 4 series produced by Intel.

In fact, the memory disambiguator should be useful in most codes that have a substantial amount of loads/stores.
One of the primary benefits of memory disambiguation is that it allows you to take better advantage of a more aggressively OOO core.
However, I’d wager that Intels memory disambiguation mechanism, regardless of its ability, is likely to be of little benefit to codes where data accessed by the processor is frequently not found in cache, simply due to the latency of a not-in-cache memory access being in the hundreds of cycles.

The inclusion of a memory disambiguation mechanism that improves the ability to reorder loads and store, while preserving the memory-consistency model of the 0x86's, is intriguing.
The mechanism should improve the performance of highly-optimized codes that fit into cache; some commercial video-game codes may fit the bill, and we all know how much commercial video-games are used are benchmarks of performance.
Moreover, for codes where cache is effective, the OOO core can usually hide the latencies of L1 and L2, making the average latency of memory operations relatively small.

Same thing as 64bits disabled instructions in Northwood, they are there but have performance issues and bugs and where dissabled.
What I have found in some more digging is that Intel had already worked on a hardware based speculative solution to parallelizing singlular code, and the key was to move the shared memory resources closer to the CPU.
The paper explicitly states the need for memory disambiguation, shared memory resources close to the core, and good branch prediction -- where have we hear this before.

Because the popular consensus was that the P4 was faster, the Athlon XP was released, although the chip itself was not tremendously improved (other than the progressional clock-speed increase).
The Athlon XP remained competitive with overall performance until the release of the Pentium 4 Northwood CPU, which ran much more efficiently than the early Pentium 4s, and at even greater clock cycles, topping out at 3.4 GHz.
Unable to compete with the raw clock speeds offered by the P4, from the start of the Athlon XP era, AMD began using a nomenclature that compares performance of the Athlon XP, with that of an earlier Thunderbird core revision.

 First K8L details! - XtremeSystems Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
I think on the desktop market they're screwed til' K8L comes out, so about a year of financial/market share reaming without lube barring any mis-steps in thier product or processes, in which case it'll be even worse...
Server market they've got a toe hold though, and for quad and up machines I think they'll still sell well so I don't think that they'll be in as dire financial straits as they were back when it was Thoroughbred vs. 2.4C Northwood but they are gonna be hurting.
Only way I can see them compete is on price in the desktop market, and that hurts AMD more than it hurt Intel, it'll be nice having some good* cheap dual core options available.

Operation Northwood, proposed in 1962 by leaders in the U.S. Department of Defense but never implemented, involved "staging a "terror campaign", including the "real or simulated" sinking of Cuban refugees," and other "false flag" terror attacks on U.S. soil (Operation Northwood; James Bamford, "Body of Secrets"; The National Security Archive (see [[9]]).
Although terrorists come from varying backgrounds, the majority of recruits to most terrorist organisations have shared some or all of a group of certain sociological and psychological features in common.

 :: PC Ekspert - Hardware EZine - www.pcekspert.com ::
Ruku na srce, arhitektura NetBurst, premda je imala svojih sjajnih trenutaka kao što je jezgra Northwood, generalno nije previše impresionirala svojim mogućnostima.
Nakon što je AMD predstavio arhitekturu, a time i prve Athone 64 i Opterone, pravila igre su postala još stroža, no Intel joj se nije prilagodio kako treba odigravši kartu pod imenom Prescott.
Memory disambiguation riješava ovaj problem pomoću algoritama koji određuju da li se load instrukcija zaista sigurno može izvršiti prije store instrukcije unatoč tome što bi se bez preuređivanja redoslijeda izvršavanja store instrukcija trebala izvršiti prije load instrukcije.

 Geek.com Geek News - A peek at Intel's Intel Core Microarchitecture
The Athlon outperformed the P3 and early P4 in almost every benchmark, and this continued until the P4 Northwood came.
Intel regained the performance crown with the P4 Northwood, and kept it till the AMD64 arrived.
The Athlon was very good processor and was probably the first AMD that was able to give performance comparable to that of a higher end Intel offering.

 Architectures and generations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
I know fanboys will flame me, but i don't see K8 as a real new architecture instead; basically it's a K7 with its hard edges smoothed out: sophisticated branch predictor, slightly longer pipeline, and most of all the integrated memory controller which removed the main bottleneck, the EV6 front side bus.
Now some people is claming that Conroe is just a P6, but IMHO it is probably "half generation" ahead of K7/K8, micro/macro op fusion, out of order loads and memory disambiguation are impressive features, beside being just wider/fatter in issue and execution.
You can say for example that Prescott was an important (and unfortunate) evolution from Northwood, due to the significantly longer pipeline and architectural enhancements to counter the performance penalty there incurred.

AMD led performance with the XPs until Northwood at 2.4 Ghz.
Everyone assumed it was Northwood's 512k of cache that helped Northwood, hammer was going to be late, and so hope rested on Barton.
News flash: Double floating point when Athlon64's fp is already better than Conroe's is like giving it more memory bandwidth.

 AnandTech: Intel Core versus AMD's K8 architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Techniques such as memory disambiguation and improved prefetch logic can also help to eliminate any advantage an IMC might offer.
Memory disambiguation should push the current limits of ILP in integer loads a lot higher, and the massive bandwidth that the L1 and L2 can deliver should help Core to come close to the execution utilization percentages of the current P-M. 33% more execution potential could thus come very close to 33% more performance, clock-for-clock.
In fact, we know that engineers at AMD were well aware of it then, and it is surprising that AMD didn't really fix this in the K8 architecture.

Though the Athlon was capable of much greater clock speeds than the Pentium 3 line, the new Netburst architecture, designed to deliver increased performance through deep-pipelines and high-clock-speeds began to match and outpace the Athlon line.
Early Pentium-4 chips did not reach Intel's anticipated performance levels, and the Athlon XP remained performance-competitive until the release of the Pentium 4 Northwood CPU.
Unable to compete with the raw clock speeds offered by the P4, from the start of the Athlon XP era, AMD returned to a nomenclature that compared approximate performance of Athlon XP chips with the clock speeds of Pentium-series processors.
