Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for read prediction during a system boot procedure are described. A memory device may identify a command for a boot procedure and transfer data stored in a memory array to a cache of the memory device. In some cases, the memory device may prefetch data used during the boot procedure and thereby improve the latency of the boot procedure. When the memory device receives a command that requests data stored in the memory array as part of the boot procedure, the memory device may identify a cache hit based on prefetching the requested data before the command is received. In such cases, the memory device may retrieve the prefetched data from the cache.
