Abstract
A main processorexecutes a main program and has an associated cache memory. Event detection circuitrydetects events consequent upon execution of the main program and indicative of data to be used by the main processor. One or more programmable further processorsis triggered to execute a further program by the events detected by the event detection circuitry. Prefetch circuitryis responsive to the further program executed by the one or more programmable further processors to trigger prefetching of the data to be used by the main processor to the cache memory.
