Targeted Data Prefetching
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
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. The success of any data prefetching scheme depends on three factors: timeliness, accuracy and overhead. In most hardware prefetching mechanism, the focus has been on accuracy -ensuring that the predicted address do turn out to be demanded in a later part of the code. In this paper, we introduce a simple hardware prefetching
