Abstract:
A disclosed computing device includes at least one prefetcher and a processing device communicatively coupled to the prefetcher. The processing device is configured to detect a throttling instruction that indicates a start of a throttling region. The computing device is further configured to prevent the prefetcher from being trained on one or more memory instructions included in the throttling region in response to the throttling instruction. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
