Stride-based prefetching mechanisms exploit regular streams of memory accesses to hide memory latency. While these mechanisms are effective, they can be improved by studying the p...
Data prefetching technique is widely used to bridge the growing performance gap between processor and memory. Numerous prefetching techniques have been proposed to exploit data pa...
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...
Memory system bottlenecks limit performance for many applications, and computations with strided access patterns are among the hardest hit. The streams used in such applications h...
We describe the Slice Processor micro-architecture that implements a generalized operation-based prefetching mechanism. Operation-based prefetchers predict the series of operation...
