◆ calculatePrefetch()

void Prefetcher::AccessMapPatternMatching::calculatePrefetch	(	const Base::PrefetchInfo &	pfi,
		std::vector< Queued::AddrPriority > &	addresses
	)

Create a contiguous copy of the 3 entries states. With this, we avoid doing boundaries checking in the loop that looks for prefetch candidates, mark out of range positions with AM_INVALID

am_entry_prev->states => states[ 0 .. lines_per_zone-1] am_entry_curr->states => states[ lines_per_zone .. 2*lines_per_zone-1] am_entry_next->states => states[2*lines_per_zone .. 3*lines_per_zone-1]

◆ checkCandidate()

bool Prefetcher::AccessMapPatternMatching::checkCandidate	(	std::vector< AccessMapState > const &	states,

inlineprivate

Given a target cacheline, this function checks if the cachelines that follow the provided stride have been accessed.

If so, the line is considered a good candidate.

Parameters

states	vector containing the states of three contiguous hot zones
current	target block (cacheline)
stride	access stride to obtain the reference cachelines

Returns: true if current is a prefetch candidate

Obtain an AccessMapEntry from the AccessMapTable, if the entry is not found a new one is initialized and inserted.

Parameters

am_addr	address of the hot zone

◆ startup()

void Prefetcher::AccessMapPatternMatching::startup ( )

overridevirtual

startup() is the final initialization call before simulation.

All state is initialized (including unserialized state, if any, such as the curTick() value), so this is the appropriate place to schedule initial event(s) for objects that need them.

Reimplemented from SimObject.
