METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING SEQUENTIAL DATA FETCHES IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

A computer implemented method of optimizing sequential data fetches in a computer system is provided. The method includes fetching a data segment from a main memory, the data segment having a plurality of target data entries; extracting a first portion of the data segment and storing the first portion into a target data cache, the first portion having a first target data entry; and storing the data segment into an intermediate cache line buffer in communication with the target data cache to enable subsequent fetches to a number target data entries in the data segment.
