Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) may include a cache memory, and a cache memory controller coupled to the cache memory. The cache memory controller may be configured to receive a cache miss associated with a memory location, issue pre-fetch requests, each pre-fetch request having a quality of service (QoS), and determine if a pre-fetch request has issued for the memory location associated with the cache miss.
