Abstract. Cache prefetching is a basic technique for removing cache misses and the resulting access penalty. This work proposes a kind of guided prefetching which uses the access pattern of an application to prohibit from loading data which are not required. The access pattern is achieved with a data analyzer capable of discovering the affinity and regularity of data accesses. Initial results depict a performance improvement of up to 20%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
