ABSTRACT:
An array prefetch system improves processor performance by automatically tuning a statically compiled and compacted loop program at run-time to accommodate variations in latency of memory read operations. Using the array prefetch system, the processor, while awaiting completion of a data access, continues to generate requests for subsequent iterations rather than fully halting execution until a read access is finished.
