  • Method and system to improve prefetching operations
    Patent number: 6978351
    Abstract: To reduce prefetch overshoot when prefetching partial data sets along the path from input-output bus to system memory, a prefetch field is used to communicate the amount of data that a prefetching entity upstream may prefetch. Utilizing a prefetch field in such a manner reduces the fetching of unneeded data past the end of the requested data, resulting in overall increased system performance.
