Abstract
A method for triggering prefetching of memory address translations for memory access requests to be issued by a memory access component of a processor in a data processing system to a memory management function in the data processing system is provided. The method includes obtaining command data from one or more memory access commands in a sequence of memory access commands for the memory access component, predicting one or more memory addresses, for which one or more memory address translations are likely to be required by the memory management function to process one or more memory access requests, from the obtained command data, in response to the predicting, performing one or more trigger operations to trigger a prefetch of the one or more memory address translations, using the predicted one or more memory addresses, in advance of the one or more memory access requests.
