  • Dynamic evaluation and reconfiguration of a data prefetcher
    Patent number: 9058277
    Abstract: Methods and systems for prefetching data for a processor are provided. A system is configured for and a method includes selecting one of a first prefetching control logic and a second prefetching control logic of the processor as a candidate feature, capturing the performance metric of the processor over an inactive sample period when the candidate feature is inactive, capturing a performance metric of the processor over an active sample period when the candidate feature is active, comparing the performance metric of the processor for the active and inactive sample periods, and setting a status of the candidate feature as enabled when the performance metric in the active period indicates improvement over the performance metric in the inactive period, and as disabled when the performance metric in the inactive period indicates improvement over the performance metric in the active period.
