Abstract
Systems and methods using an excitement protocol enable prediction of which blocks of a resource to prefetch and store in memory. The system maintains a set of excitement values corresponding to the resource being accessed. The system also maintains a threshold. As blocks of the resource are requested, the system updates the set of excitement values. The system compares the excitement level to the threshold to determine whether to prefetch the corresponding resource block.
