    摘要: A method and system for prefetching in computer system are provided. The method in one aspect includes using a prefetch engine to perform prefetch instructions and to translate unmapped data. Misses to address translations during the prefetch are handled and resolved. The method also includes storing the resolved translations in a respective cache translation table. A system for prefetching in one aspect includes a prefetch engine operable to receive instructions to prefetch data from the main memory. The prefetch engine is also operable to search cache address translation for prefetch data and perform address mapping translation, if the prefetch data is unmapped. The prefetch engine is further operable to prefetch the data and store the address mapping in one or more cache memory, if the data is unmapped.

    摘要: A method for reconfiguring a cache memory is provided. The method in one aspect may include analyzing one or more characteristics of an execution entity accessing a cache memory and reconfiguring the cache based on the one or more characteristics analyzed. Examples of analyzed characteristic may include but are not limited to data structure used by the execution entity, expected reference pattern of the execution entity, type of an execution entity, heat and power consumption of an execution entity, etc. Examples of cache attributes that may be reconfigured may include but are not limited to associativity of the cache memory, amount of the cache memory available to store data, coherence granularity of the cache memory, line size of the cache memory, etc.
