Data-intensive applications often exhibit memory referencing patterns with little data reuse, resulting in poor cache utilization and run-times that can be dominated by memory delays. Data prefetching has been proposed as a means of hiding the memory access latencies of data referencing patterns that defeat caching strategies. Prefetching techniques that either use special cache logic to issue prefetches or that rely on the processor to issue prefetch requests typically involve some compromise between accuracy and instruction overhead. A data prefetch controller (DPC) is proposed that combines low instruction overhead with the flexibility and accuracy of a compiler-directed prefetch mechanism. At run-time, the processor and prefetch control...
