A cache controller stores pre-set variables for pre-fetch block size and stride value. A cache controller receives an access request for the main memory from the processor, and generates a pre-fetch request based an the access request and the variables. The cache controller reads data from main memory based on the generated pre-fetch request and writes this data to the cache memory.
