A technique for performing data prefetching using multi-level indirect data prefetching includes determining a first memory address of a pointer associated with a data prefetch instruction. Content that is included in a first data block (e.g., a first cache line of a memory) at the first memory address is then fetched. A second memory address is then determined based on the content at the first memory address. Content that is included in a second data block (e.g., a second cache line) at the second memory address is then fetched (e.g., from the memory or another memory). A third memory address is then determined based on the content at the second memory address. Finally, a third data block (e.g., a third cache line) that includes another pointer or data at the third memory address is fetched (e.g., from the memory or the another memory). |
