Abstract
Certain aspects provide a method of efficiently computing a starting address and offset for a memory prefetch address. The method generally includes computing a distance parameter that represents a difference between a line trigger virtual address and a producer virtual address, generating a starting address for a memory prefetch as a function of the distance parameter and a stride size, wherein the staring address is generated using a logically shifted version of the distance parameter if a first condition is met, and performing the memory prefetch using the generated starting address.
