Hardware-only stream prefetching and dynamic access ordering
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...

Miss Penalty Reduction Using Bundled Capacity Prefetching in Multiprocessors
While prefetch has proven itself useful for reducing cache misses in multiprocessors, traffic is often increased due to extra unused prefetch data. Prefetching in multiprocessors...

An Adaptive Data Prefetcher for High-Performance Processors
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...

A compiler-directed data prefetching scheme for chip multiprocessors
Data prefetching has been widely used in the past as a technique for hiding memory access latencies. However, data prefetching in multi-threaded applications running on chip multi...

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...
