Data prefetching has been widely studied as a technique to hide memory access latency in multiprocessors. Most recent research on hardware prefetching focuses either on uniprocessors, or on distributed shared memory (DSM) and other non bus-based organizations. However, in the context of bus-based SMPs, prefetching poses a number of problems related to the lack of scalability and limited bus bandwidth of these modest-sized machines
