Ask HN: Resources on Memory Prefetching

2 points by xoranth ↗ HN
Are there any good resources that explain the memory prefetching strategies used by modern CPUs at a level accessible to someone with low-level software experience but no hardware design experience?

Ideally something like Dan Luu's article on branch prediction[^1], but about memory prefetching.

"A Primer on Hardware Prefetching" from morgan & claypool. I read this book and found it pretty good.
