prefetching

Cache prefetching is a possible solution to overcome this limitation.

However since up to four instructions were packed into each 60-bit word, some degree of prefetching was inherent in the design.

Explicit prefetching into L2 or L1 cache is also supported.

Performance is increased by prefetching the next instruction during the execution of the current instruction.

Application prefetching works in a similar fashion, but is instead localized to a single application's startup.

Fasterfox has an option to enable the prefetching of all page links by the browser.

Previous smoothing techniques tried to address this problem by prefetching stream data into buffer space of the client device.

The Blue Coat proxy appliance is known to use non-compliant prefetching.

Swapping in of memory pages and system cache include prefetching and clustering, to improve performance.

With Fasterfox prefetching enabled, the browser will prefetch all links on a page in the background.

Hardware scout uses otherwise idle chip execution resources to perform prefetching during cache misses.

Apart from increasing the effective size of cache, we can leverage from what we call virtual prefetching.

Jumps (conditional or unconditional branches) interfere with the prefetching of instructions, thus slowing down code.

Standard link prefetching (executed by most modern browsers):

FasterIE - Increases surfing speed by using prefetching.

If the system is installed on a solid-state drive, Superfetch is disabled but regular prefetching is left enabled.

Prefetching is the act of fetching data in advance for upcoming loads and stores before it is actually needed, to cut down on load/store latency.

Intelligent Prefetching helps in avoiding bursty traffic and reducing latency with minimal increase in network traffic.

Instead, we introduce a new smoothing algorithm that can decrease the maximum required disk bandwidth by prefetching stream data into server buffers.

Among other possible uses, this allows the implementation of client-side prefetching and buffering code for streaming media entirely in JavaScript.

An issue inherent to indiscriminate link prefetching involves the misuse of "safe" HTTP methods.

Informed prefetching will be developed as a mechanism for delivering high efficiency in parallel file systems to I/O-intensive parallel applications.

Konqueror offers increased loading speed by prefetching domain name data in KHTML.

Bing has employed the use of prefetching and preloading since the release of Internet Explorer 11 (October, 2013).

Informed prefetching is an aggressive prefetching technique that is capable of overcoming these limitations.
