Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a cache pre-fetcher, and a pre-fetch scheduler. The cache pre-fetcher may be configured to predict, based at least in part upon a virtual address, data to be retrieved from a memory system. The pre-fetch scheduler may be configured to convert the virtual address of the data to a physical address of the data, and request the data from one of a plurality of levels of the memory system. The memory system may include a plurality of levels, each level of the memory system configured to store data.

Abstract: According to one general aspect, a method may include receiving, by a pre-fetch unit, a demand to access data stored at a memory address. The method may include determining if a first portion of the memory address matches a prior defined region of memory. The method may further include determining if a second portion of the memory address matches a previously detected pre-fetched address portion. The method may also include, if the first portion of the memory address matches the prior defined region of memory, and the second portion of the memory address matches the previously detected pre-fetched address portion, confirming that a pre-fetch pattern is associated with the memory address.
