Performance impact of programmer-inserted Data Prefetches for irregular access patterns with a case study of FMM VList algorithm
Data Prefetching is a well-known technique to speed up applications wherein hardware prefetchers or compilers speculatively prefetch data into caches closer to the processor to ensure it’s readily available when the processor demands it. Since incorrect speculation leads to prefetching useless data...
