Targeted Data Prefetching
Abstract. Given the increasing gap between processors and memory, prefetching data into cache becomes an important strategy for preventing the processor from being starved of data....

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...

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...

A Taxonomy of Data Prefetching Mechanisms
Data prefetching has been considered an effective way to mask data access latency caused by cache misses and to bridge the performance gap between processor and memory. With hardw...
