Abstract
A disclosed example method to perform memory copy operations includes copying a first portion of data from a source location to a destination location, the first portion of the data being less than all of the data intended to be copied from the source location to the destination location; determining a cache miss measure indicative of an amount of the first portion of the data that is located in a cache; selecting a type of memory copy operation based on the cache miss measure; and initiating a memory copy operation based on the selected type of memory copy operation to copy a second portion of the data from the source location to the destination location.
