Detailed Description

Delta Correlating Prediction Tables Prefetcher References: Multi-level hardware prefetching using low complexity delta correlating prediction tables with partial matching.

Marius Grannaes, Magnus Jahre, and Lasse Natvig. 2010. In Proceedings of the 5th international conference on High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC'10)

The filter feature is not implemented as gem5 already drops redundant prefetches. The main prefetcher logic is implemented on a separate SimObject as there are other prefetcher that can rehuse this component.
