The limits and effectiveness of data prefetching on scalable multiprocessors

Prefetching is a promising technique for hiding and tolerating the large memory latencies expected in scalable multiprocessors. In this paper we present and validate an analytical performance model for software-controlled data prefetching. The model incorporates all the important aspects affecting t...
