ABSTRACT:
A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design is provided. The design structure generally includes a computer system that includes a CPU, a storage device, circuitry for providing a speculative access threshold corresponding to a selected percentage of the total number of accesses to the storage device that can be speculatively issued, and circuitry for intermixing demand accesses and speculative accesses in accordance with the speculative access threshold.
