Abstract—Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) present a unique scenario for software data prefetching with subtle tradeoffs between memory bandwidth and performance. In a shared L2 based ...
This paper presents a helper thread prefetching scheme that is designed to work on loosely-coupled processors, such as in a standard chip multi-processor (CMP) system and in an in...
