Prefetching data for a chip with a higher-level core and a scout core
2014
A method for prefetching data on a chip with at least one scout core and a parent core includes storing the start address of a prefetch code by the parent core. The start address of the prefetch code indicates where a prefetch code is stored. Prefetching code is specifically configured for monitoring the parent core on the basis of control conducted by the parent core given application. The method includes transmitting a broadcast interrupt signal by the parent core to the at least one scout core. The broadcast interrupt signal is sent on the basis of the stored start address of the prefetch code. The method includes monitoring the parent core by prefetching code that is executed by at least one scout core. The scout core executes the prefetch code based on receiving the broadcast interrupt signal.
