Abstract
A locality associated with a read request is identified based at least in part on a read address included in the read request. A predicted read address is generated based at least in part on the locality. It is decided whether to permit the predicted read address to be prefetched; in the event it is decided to permit the predicted read address to be prefetched, data from the predicted read address is prefetched and the prefetched data is stored in a prefetch cache.
