Abstract

A computer system includes a processor and a prefetch engine. The processor is configured to generate a demand access stream. The prefetch engine is configured to initiate a first prefetch request based on the demand access stream and perform a first prefetch that includes performing a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) lookup on a TLB structure in response to the first prefetch request. The processor determines a TLB entry in response to performing the TLB lookup and performs at least one second prefetch based on the TLB entry without performing a subsequent TLB lookup on the TLB structure.
