Abstract
An integrated circuit device comprising at least one prefetching module for prefetching lines of data from at least one memory element. The prefetching module is configured to determine a position of a requested block of data within a respective line of data of the at least one memory element, determine a number of subsequent lines of data to prefetch, based at least partly on the determined position of the requested block of data within the respective line of data of the at least one memory element, and cause the prefetching of n successive lines of data from the at least one memory element.
