Abstract
A processor system () includes a central processing unit () and a prefetch engine (). The prefetch engine () is coupled to the central processing unit (). The prefetch engine () is configured to detect, when data associated with the central processing unit () is read from a memory (), a stride pattern in an address stream based upon whether sums of a current stride and a previous stride are equal for a number of consecutive reads. The prefetch engine () is also configured to prefetch, for the central processing unit (), data from the memory () based on the detected stride pattern.
