ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for prefetching information in a processing system. A first memory has multiple first locations. At least one of the first locations stores information including an address of a different first location, the different first location having been referenced in the first memory after a previous reference to the one first location. A second memory has at least one second location storing information from the one first location, including the address. Information is prefetched to the second memory from the address of the first memory, in response to a reference to the second location.
