Cache control device for prefetching using pattern analysis processor and prefetch instruction and prefetching method using cache control device

摘要

The present examples relate to prefetching, and to a cache control device for prefetching and a prefetching method using the cache control device, wherein the cache control device analyzes a memory access pattern of program code, inserts, into the program code, a prefetching command generated by encoding the analyzed access pattern, and executes the prefetching command inserted into the program code in order to prefetch data into a cache, thereby maximizing prefetching efficiency.
