摘要: A microprocessor includes a cache memory and data prefetcher. The prefetcher detects pattern of accesses within first block prefetch into the lines from based on pattern. also observes new access request to second block. determines that is virtually adjacent pattern, when continued block, predicts an line implicated by responsively prefetches
