Data prefetching has been considered an effective way to mask data access latency caused by cache misses and to bridge the performance gap between processor and memory. With hardw...
After many years of prefetching research, most commercially available systems support only two types of prefetching: software-directed prefetching and hardware-based prefetchers u...
Abstract. Given the increasing gap between processors and memory, prefetching data into cache becomes an important strategy for preventing the processor from being starved of data....
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 important technique for alleviating the memory bottleneck is data prefetching. Data prefetching solutions ranging from pure software approach by inserting prefetch instructions...
