  • Prefetching techniques for network interfaces
    Patent number: 7327674
    Abstract: A prefetching technique for a network interface is provided to give the network interface the opportunity to prefetch data out-of-order into send queues in the network interface, rather than prefetching data in the order produced and deposited into main memory. That allows, the state of the send queues to be taken into consideration when deciding an appropriate order to prefetch data.
