Abstract
According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a cache pre-fetcher, and a pre-fetch scheduler. The cache pre-fetcher may be configured to predict, based at least in part upon a virtual address, data to be retrieved from a memory system. The pre-fetch scheduler may be configured to convert the virtual address of the data to a physical address of the data, and request the data from one of a plurality of levels of the memory system. The memory system may include a plurality of levels, each level of the memory system configured to store data.
