Aggressive hardware prefetching often significantly increases energy consumption in the memory system. Experiments show that a major fraction of prefetching related energy degrad...
After many years of prefetching research, most commercially available systems support only two types of prefetching: software-directed prefetching and hardware-based prefetchers u...
This paper describes Compiler-Directed Content-Aware Prefetching (CDCAP), an integrated compiler and hardware approach for prefetching dynamic data structures. The approach utiliz...
Modern processors attempt to overcome increasing memory latencies by anticipating future references and prefetching those blocks from memory. The behavior and possible negative si...

Software prefetching has been demonstrated as a powerful technique to tolerate long load latencies. However, to be effective, prefetching must target the most critical (frequently...
