    Abstract: Techniques for using soft-barrier hints are described. An example includes a synchronous microthreading (SyMT) co-processor coupled to a logical processor to execute a plurality of microthreads, with each microthread having an independent register state, upon an execution of an instruction to enter into SyMT mode, wherein the SyMT co-processor is further to support a soft-barrier hint instruction in code which when processed by a microthread is to pause execution of the microthread to be resumed based at least in part on a data structure having at least one entry, the entry to include an instruction pointer of the soft-barrier hint instruction and a count of microthreads that have encountered the soft-barrier hint instruction at the instruction pointer.
