ABSTRACT:
Exemplary systems and methods analyze cache data to detect a sequential workload to facilitate pre-fetching effectiveness. An exemplary address analysis module for sequential workload detection generates one or more addresses related to a host address. If the cache memory contains data corresponding to one or more of the related addresses, a sequential workload may be occurring, and a read pre-fetch operation may be triggered. An indexing module may be used to map host and related addresses to corresponding indices in cache memory.
