Abstract
A method and mechanism for implementing pipelined prefetching in a computer system is disclosed. Data prefetching is utilized to predictably retrieve information between multiple levels of nodes in the computer system, in which a first server may receive prefetched data from a second server, the second server receives prefetched data from a third server, with the chain of prefetching extending as long as needed/desired to effect efficient data transfers between the nodes.
