Memory Prefetching Using Adaptive Stream Detection
We present Adaptive Stream Detection, a simple technique for modulating the aggressiveness of a stream prefetcher to match a workload’s observed spatial locality. We use this co...

Feedback mechanisms for improving probabilistic memory prefetching
This paper presents three techniques for improving the effectiveness of the recently proposed Adaptive Stream Detection (ASD) prefetching mechanism. The ASD prefetcher is a standa...

Esodyp+: Prefetching in the Jackal Software DSM
Abstract. Prefetching transfers a data item in advance from its storage location to its usage location so that communication is hidden and does not delay computation. We present a ...

Stream chaining: exploiting multiple levels of correlation in data prefetching
Data prefetching has long been an important technique to amortize the effects of the memory wall, and is likely to remain so in the current era of multi-core systems. Most prefetc...

Runahead execution vs. conventional data prefetching in the IBM POWER6 microprocessor
After many years of prefetching research, most commercially available systems support only two types of prefetching: software-directed prefetching and hardware-based prefetchers u...
