- Prefetch - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Prefetch Files Prefetch files ( PF extension) are a specialized file type, similar to link files, used by Windows XP 2k3 Vista 7 operating systems to speed up the running of executable files 10 Windows XP and Vista, in particular, prefetch application data to run those applications more efficiently on subsequent executions
- How to properly use prefetch instructions? - Stack Overflow
I heard that using prefetch instructions could help speedup things, as it could fetch further data "in background", while doing muls and adds on a data that is in cache However i failed to find examples and explanations on how to use _mm_prefetch (), when, with what addresses, and what hits Could you assist on this?
- prefetching - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Prefetching Prefetching refers to activity that brings data into caches before it is actually used It is designed to mask the long latencies required to fetch data from memory Many processors will automatically, or implicitly, perform prefetching based on heuristics There are also programming methods for explicit prefetching to benefit from the expertise of the programmer and her knowledge
- performance - When should we use prefetch? - Stack Overflow
Working around hardware prefetch restrictions Hardware prefetch may have restrictions which you could work around using software prefetch For example, Leeor's answer has an example of hardware prefetch stopping at page boundaries, while software prefetch doesn't have any such restriction
- What are the differences between preload and prefetch in HTML?
Preload loads resources for current navigation, while prefetch fetches resources for future navigations Learn their differences and use cases in HTML
- How to use software prefetch systematically? - Stack Overflow
You should prefetch the cache lines sufficiently early so for the latency to be significantly reduced, otherwise the instruction is useless and can actually be detrimental Indeed, the instruction takes some space in the program, need to be decoded, and use load ports that could be used to execute other (more critical) load instructions for
- Difference between prefetch for read or write - Stack Overflow
The gcc docs talk about a difference between prefetch for read and prefetch for write What is the technical difference?
- gcc - Prefetching Examples? - Stack Overflow
Can anyone give an example or a link to an example which uses __builtin_prefetch in GCC (or just the asm instruction prefetcht0 in general) to gain a substantial performance advantage? In particula
