Abstract
Sequential fetch requests from a set of fetch requests are combined into longer coalesced requests that match the width of a system memory interface in order to improve memory access efficiency for reading the data specified by the fetch requests. The fetch requests may be of different classes and each data class is coalesced separately, even when intervening fetch requests are of a different class. Data read from memory is ordered according to the order of the set of fetch requests to produce an instruction stream that includes the fetch requests for the different classes.
