Effective Instruction Prefetching in Chip Multiprocessors for Modern Commercial Applications
In this paper, we study the instruction cache miss behavior of four modern commercial applications (a database workload, TPC-W, SPECjAppServer2002 and SPECweb99). These applicatio...

Optimization of data prefetch helper threads with path-expression based statistical modeling
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...

Coterminous locality and coterminous group data prefetching on chip-multiprocessors
Due to shared cache contentions and interconnect delays, data prefetching is more critical in alleviating penalties from increasing memory latencies and demands on Chip-Multiproce...

Data Prefetching for Software DSMs
In this paper we propose and evaluate the Adaptive++ technique, a novel runtime-only data prefetching strategy for software-based distributed shared-memory systems (software DSMs)...
