Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are improved address prediction and memory preloading that leverages next-delta prediction and/or far-delta prediction for scheduling using a DNN. Previous memory access sequence data that identify one or more memory addresses previously accessed by one or more processors of a system may be processed and then converted into a sequence of delta values. The sequence of delta values are then mapped to one or more classes that are then input to a DNN. The DNN then outputs a predicted future class identifier sequence that represents addresses that the DNN predicts will be accessed by the processor in the future. The predicted future class identifier sequence is then converted back to a predicted delta value sequence and back into a set of one or more predicted addresses.

Additionally, the memory system may store an indication of whether the data is used for any access operations during a duration that the data is stored in the first portion of the cache. The memory system may transfer subsets of the data to the second portion of the cache if they are used for access operations during the duration.
