Friendly fire: understanding the effects of multiprocessor prefetches
Modern processors attempt to overcome increasing memory latencies by anticipating future references and prefetching those blocks from memory. The behavior and possible negative si...

A Framework for Data Prefetching Using Off-Line Training of Markovian Predictors
An important technique for alleviating the memory bottleneck is data prefetching. Data prefetching solutions ranging from pure software approach by inserting prefetch instructions...

A Self-Repairing Prefetcher in an Event-Driven Dynamic Optimization Framework
Software prefetching has been demonstrated as a powerful technique to tolerate long load latencies. However, to be effective, prefetching must target the most critical (frequently...

An Integrated Hardware/Software Data Prefetching Scheme for Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Both hardware and software prefetching have been shown to be e ective in tolerating the large memory latencies inherent in shared-memory multiprocessors however, both types of pre...
