Performance driven data cache prefetching in a dynamic software optimization system
Software or hardware data cache prefetching is an efficient way to hide cache miss latency. However effectiveness of the issued prefetches have to be monitored in order to maximi...

Using Incorrect Speculation to Prefetch Data in a Concurrent Multithreaded Processor
Concurrent multithreaded architectures exploit both instruction-level and thread-level parallelism through a combination of branch prediction and thread-level control speculation. ...
