Abstract

Technology for selectively prefetching data, such that less data is prefetched when it is determined that the requested data is located in logical addresses allocated to a symbol table data structure. In some embodiments, data is still prefetched when the request is directed to the symbol table, but the amount of data prefetched (measured in memory lines, bytes or other unit) is decreased relative to what it otherwise would be in the context of a non-symbol-table request. In other embodiments, prefetching is simply not performed at all when the request is directed to the symbol table.
