Prefetching data using profile of cache misses from earlier code executions |
December 5, 2000 |
| During execution of a code sequence, a profile is generated containing addresses of the data cache misses experienced during the execution. The profile is associated with the code sequence such that, during a future execution of the code sequence, the profile is available. Prefetching ma |
