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...
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...
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...

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)...

This paper evaluates several hardware-based data prefetching techniques from an energy perspective, and explores their energy/performance tradeoffs. We present detailed simulation...
