Abstract
According to a method of data processing, a memory controller receives a prefetch load request from a processor core of a data processing system. The prefetch load request specifies a requested line of data. In response to receipt of the prefetch load request, the memory controller determines by reference to a stream of demand requests how much data is to be supplied to the processor core in response to the prefetch load request. In response to the memory controller determining to provide less than all of the requested line of data, the memory controller provides less than all of the requested line of data to the processor core.
