Abstract
Data prefetching, which issues data fetch requests prior to actual use, is an effective technique to reduce the effects of memory access latency. In this paper, we propose an implementation of tagged data prefetching that needs no cache modification and fairly simple hardware. Using a program driven simulation of scientific applications in the context of shared-memory multiprocessors, it is shown that the proposed method can result in performance equal to or better than that of conventional tagged prefetching.
