Abstract

A technique for prefetching data into a cache memory system includes prefetching data based on meta information indicative of data access patterns. A method includes tagging data of a program with meta information indicative of data access patterns. The method includes prefetching the data from main memory at least partially based on the meta information, by a processor executing the program. In at least one embodiment, the method includes generating an executable at least partially based on the meta information. The executable includes at least one instruction to prefetch the data. In at least one embodiment, the method includes inserting one or more instructions for prefetching the data into an intermediate form of program code while translating program source code into the intermediate form of program code.
