Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a cache to store information, items of information in the cache being associated with addresses; cache lookup circuitry to perform lookups in the cache; and a prefetcher to prefetch items of information into the cache in advance of an access request being received for said items of information. The prefetcher selects addresses to train the prefetcher. In response to determining that a cache lookup specifying a given address has resulted in a hit and determining that a cache lookup previously performed in response to a prefetch request issued by the prefetcher for the given address resulted in a hit, the prefetcher selects the given address as an address to be used to train the prefetcher.
