Disclosed Methods, Apparatus, and articles of manufacture to dynamically enable and/or disable prefetchers are disclosed. An example apparatus include an interface to access telemetry data, the telemetry data corresponding to a counter of a core in a central processing unit, the counter corresponding to a first phase of a workload executed at the central processing unit; a prefetcher state selector to select a prefetcher state for a subsequent phase based on the telemetry data; and the interface to instruct the core in the central processing unit to operate in the subsequent phase according to the prefetcher state.

Methods and apparatus to dynamically enable and/or disable prefetchers

In one embodiment, a method receives data regarding processing of a workload by a processor. The data is input into a prediction engine configured to classify the data into a plurality of workload classifications. Each workload classification describes different temporal behavior of the workload. Then, the method outputs a prediction for at least one of the plurality of workload classifications, wherein the prediction is used to control performance of the processor in an upcoming period of time.
