Add to ORKGThis paper describes a new hardware approach to data and instruction prefetching for superscalar processors. The key innovation is instruction prefetching by predicting procedural control flow, and decoupling data and instruction prefetching. Simulation results show this method to recover 72% of unnecessarily lost cache cycles and to yield a great improvement (20-27%) over previous hardware prefetching techniques. The technique has a relatively small cost in hardware, and is intended to come between the processor and a level-1 cache
