  1. 1. Evaluation of Memory Prefetching Techniques for Modem Applications

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorteknik

    Author : Gustav Nyholm; [2022]
    Keywords : cache; prefetching;

    Abstract : Processor performance has increased far faster than memories have been able to keep up with, forcing processor designers to use caches in order to bridge the speed difference. This can increase performance significantly for programs that utilize the caches efficiently but results in significant performance penalties when data is not in cache. READ MORE

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorteknik

    Author : Tobias Lind; [2016]
    Keywords : Instruction prefetch; branch prediction; DSP; computer architecture;

    Abstract : With increasing demands on mobile communication transfer rates the circuits in mobile phones must be designed for higher performance while maintaining low power consumption for increased battery life. One possible way to improve an existing architecture is to implement instruction prefetching. READ MORE

  3. 3. Prefetching for the Kilo-Instruction Processor

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Matherey Bracamonte Nunez; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The large latency of memory accesses in modern computer systems is a key obstacle to achieving high processor utilization. Techniques to reduce or tolerate large memory latencies become essential for achieving high processor utilization. Prefetch is one of the most widely studied mechanisms at literature. READ MORE
