Ask HN: Resources on Memory Prefetching
2 points by xoranth on May 25, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Are there any good resources that explain the memory prefetching strategies used by modern CPUs at a level accessible to someone with low-level software experience but no hardware design experience?

Ideally something like Dan Luu's article on branch prediction[^1], but about memory prefetching.

"A Primer on Hardware Prefetching" from morgan & claypool. I read this book and found it pretty good.


Thanks!
