Abstract

In accordance with certain techniques, prefetching operation may be divided into two parts: a trigger part and an execution part, thereby simplifying the prefetching process. Such techniques may further support prefetching of concurrent flows and enhance anti-interference capability. Certain techniques involve receiving a read request for a memory page, and determining whether the read request satisfies a trigger condition of a prefetching operation for the memory page. These certain techniques further involve, in response to the read request satisfying the trigger condition, determining a window size of the prefetching operation based on historical information of historical prefetching operations for the memory page, and triggering, based on the window size, execution of the prefetching operation.
