In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for cutting senior store latency using store prefetching. For example, in one embodiment, such means may include an integrated circuit or an out of order processor means that processes out of order instructions and enforces in-order requirements for a cache. Such an integrated circuit or out of order processor means further includes means for receiving a store instruction; means for performing address generation and translation for the store instruction to calculate a physical address of the memory to be accessed by the store instruction; and means for executing a pre-fetch for a cache line based on the store instruction and the calculated physical address before the store instruction retires.

Method and apparatus for cutting senior store latency using store prefetching

Embodiments of the present invention provide a dynamic resource allocator to allocate resources performance optimization in, for example, a computer system. The dynamic resource allocator to allocate a resource to one or more threads associated with an application based on a performance rate. Embodiments of the present invention may further include a performance monitor to monitor the performance rate of the one or more threads. The dynamic resource allocator to allocate an additional resource to the one or more threads, if the thread is performing above a performance threshold. In embodiments of the present invention, the dynamic resource allocation strategy may be decided based on, for example, optimizing the overall system throughput, minimizing power consumption, meeting system performance goals (e.g., real time requirements), user specified performance priorities and/or application specified performance priorities.
