PARE: a power-aware hardware data prefetching engine
Aggressive hardware prefetching often significantly increases energy consumption in the memory system. Experiments show that a major fraction of prefetching related energy degrad...

Runahead execution vs. conventional data prefetching in the IBM POWER6 microprocessor
After many years of prefetching research, most commercially available systems support only two types of prefetching: software-directed prefetching and hardware-based prefetchers u...

Friendly fire: understanding the effects of multiprocessor prefetches
Modern processors attempt to overcome increasing memory latencies by anticipating future references and prefetching those blocks from memory. The behavior and possible negative si...

A Self-Repairing Prefetcher in an Event-Driven Dynamic Optimization Framework
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...
